pmwebd binaries and init scripts missing from Solaris 11 package

[gkoh]

Just downloaded and installed provided binaries for PCP 3.10.8 for Solaris 11.
Although the SMF entry for pmwebd exists:

# svcs '*pmwebd*'
STATE          STIME    FMRI
disabled       Dec_12   svc:/application/pcp/pmwebd:default

The service fails to start because the pmwebd binary and init files are not included in the package:

[ Dec 12 15:43:17 Method "start" exited with status 127. ]
[ Dec 12 15:43:17 Executing start method ("/etc/init.d/pmwebd start"). ]
/sbin/sh[1]: exec: /etc/init.d/pmwebd: not found
[ Dec 12 15:43:17 Method "start" exited with status 127. ]

I'm not sure if this is deliberate or a bug.

The pmwebd binary is not built there because a libmicrohttpd build (needed by pmwebd) was not readily available for Solaris, IIRC. The existence of the SMF entry is an oversight - the fix would be to build build/sun/pcp.xml using conditionally-included XML fragments based on state from configure.ac - rather than simply hard-coding everything in there (including filesystem paths, hmm).

That's what I figured, thanks for explaining.
It would seem that the release of Solaris 11.3 changes this by providing a package for libmicrohttpd:
https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc/entry/solaris_11_3_beta_changes
and
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/en/search.shtml?token=libmicrohttpd&action=Search
leading to:
http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/manifest/0/library%2Flibmicrohttpd%400.9.37%2C5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0%3A20150821T165535Z
