Node

For convenience I've made available Solaris 10 packages (x86 only) of node.js. Building it isn't overly taxing, but getting some of the prerequisites (such as a convenient compiler) may be a little tedious.

Current stable version, Node 0.6.11:

This includes Node 0.6.11, cURL 7.24.0, openssl 1.0.0g, and npm. It's built with GCC 4.6.1 and includes the two shared libraries necessary for it to run. Uncompress the file with bunzip2, then the following as root:

pkgadd -d TRIBnode-0.6.11.0.pkg TRIBnode

To upgrade from one version to the next, use pkgrm TRIBnode to remove the old version and install the new version as above.

The older stable version from the 0.4 series is also available. Note that this has been deprecated in favour of 0.6.

This includes Node 0.4.12, cURL 7.22.0, and npm. Uncompress the file with bunzip2, then:

pkgadd -d TRIBnode-0.4.12.0.pkg TRIBnode

node-kstat

I've augmented node-kstat from Bryan Cantrill's original. There's the odd minor fix, I've essentially completed the list of kstats supported (including most of the raw kstats), and added methods that give the support needed by JKstat, and there's an example jkstat.js script that can run as a server under node that the JKstat client can connect to.

While it's now ancient and no longer relevant, a couple of blog entries described my early attempts to get node running on Solaris. For details see blog entry 1 and blog entry 2.
