solaris - Solaris SRV4 package format

This package format is typically used in older Solaris versions (Solaris 7, 8, 9, and 10). You may also know them by files with a SUNW prefix and may have file names that end in “.pkg”.

If you’re using Solaris 11, OpenSolaris, or Illumos, you might want to use the newer package format, p5p.

Supported Uses in FPM

fpm supports using solaris only as an output type. This means you can create solaris packages from input types like deb, dir, or npm
