Brian, There's another reason to think of making Blastwave an "official" tool. There's a lot of OSS stuff officially integrated into Solaris and not in SFW ... Gnome, PostgreSQL, libxml, etc, etc. However, due to our Q/A and integration process, often these are *not* the very latest versions. While that's fine with most users, some want cutting-edge more than they want stability. I'd love to come up with a way to allow users to get the latest-cutting-edge stuff which nevertheless makes it possible for them to transition easily to the "stable" builds once those things are officially supported.
I think if we work out path issues, Blastwave could be a way to do this. Right now BW puts stuff in different locations than SFW or Companion does, but it seems like we could fix that, yes? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Lead Sun Microsystems San Francisco 01-415-752-2500
