OpenCSW is considered legacy, Solaris includes the 'pkg' utility these days with a huge list of open source software. OpenCSW is basically abandonware, nothing has been updated.
I did try to use pkg update --accept within a VM which succeeded, but of course it requires a reboot before it can install any new packages. I didn't see an obvious way to reboot and have it continue.
And you can't just run pkg install somepackage, you need to pass --no-refresh to tell it not to grab the latest package index since the current installed packages are so old.
