Our sb software build tool is used to build all software in our distribution. The sb tool, part of the sbutils suite, unpacks, configures, builds, and installs a software program. An XML file drives the sb tool in the build process.

Below is a sample run of sb on Solaris for OpenSSH 4.0p1. Package description files for all of our packages, per release, is available online.
