Package management is built into all modern releases of unix and linux. Each vendor has their own methods though, so you'll need to find out what the main platforms you will be supporting are and focus your efforts there. Most of the time, package management isn't too hard.
You can find from Oracle a great set of basic and advanced system administration manuals with the help of Google. I suspect if you reviewed the sections on package management you'd be in great shape to proceed with Solaris.

The one caveat, Solaris 10 doesn't have automatic dependency resolution or updating. So, it's a fairly manual process. 11 is vastly improved in this regard.

SHAPE_STDVAR(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual SHAPE_STDVAR(7)
NAME
shape_stdvar - shapeTools RMS project wide variant definitions
DESCRIPTION
This file contains common variant definitions to be used in a software development project supported by the shape release management sys-
tem. The stdvar file defines a variant raster for a whole development project. This central definition facility unifies the naming and
semantics of supported system variants.
Stdvar is to be included into the Shapefiles of any part of the developed system via shape's include mechanism. The definitions in stdvar
should be carefully designed and maintained for each supported project. They usually concern variant control for all hardware/operating
system platforms to be supported or variant settings to produce different qualities of generated code (debug or optimized).
Enclosed in the shapeTools distribution, you find the stdvar file used in the development of the shape toolkit itself. This may be a good
starting point for developing an own variant raster. At least, it helps you learning the definition syntax. Otherwise, for a description on
the syntax of variant definition parts see the shape(1) manual.
