Solaris 11.1 -- OpenCSW

[jaymell]

Add support for installation using OpenCSW -- assumes you already have OpenCSW repositories enabled

Awesome, thanks for the addition. You've confirmed this works on Solaris systems? I don't have any to test on myself.

Good question!

So, it worked on the systems I deployed to in my environment. Just to cover
all my bases, I spun up a fresh VM this morning and am running into
issues. I didn't install the package we use to manage privileged commands
(our equivalent of 'sudo') and did have problems until I removed all the
references to sudo in the tasks and handlers. This kind of goes back to the
issue you asked about previously, so I will do some additional testing to
see if I can work around it without changing the rest of the files in the
role.

But, once I get past the sudo issue and make sure that CSW repositories are
enabled, things work great. Regarding that latter point (CSW packages),
the role will likely fail if people haven't previously set the repo up, so
I should probably go ahead and add a specific task to enable this
repository if not already done.

I'll get back to you once I've gotten some time do that.

Please feel free to remove the sudo dependency as I'm planning on removing it from the whole role after this merge.

In terms of the repo, could you please set that as a default? It'll make overriding it easier for people that don't use it, I'm assuming it isn't the only way to get the package on solaris and that some people may setup internal repos with the package?

I made an additional commit, adding the installation of CSWpkgutil if not already present on the system. I've verified that it works perfectly on freshly deployed Solaris 11.1 VMs.

Also, I removed all the references to sudo throughout the role and verified that it successfully deploys.

Let me know if this looks good to you, or if you'd like to see any additional changes.

Cheers,
James
