We need to continue work on the subversion repository also. The final objective being that any package can be freely inspected for changes and build scripts etc etc. Thus : http://svn.blastwave.org/browser/csw/trunk/server/cyrus_imapd/files Activity is logged and monitored here : http://cia.navi.cx/stats/project/Blastwave plus there are piles of software pieces, literally piles, that happen in the Blastwave build stack. I should point out that I am currently testing the Sun GRID for open source development also. As soon as I get past the authentication and verification procedures I should be able to release access to the GRID for the community.( required legal has already been done, signed, etc ) Anyone that reads this and wants free access to the Sun GRID for open source work, porting, experimentation, or anything _reasonable_ can drop me an email and I'll put you on the early access list. Just put the words Blastwave GRID in the subject line.[1] No promise yet on an opening date but it will be in early 2007 with a full Sun Global Desktop session exposed to free users also. Thats a little OT .. sorry. Just wanted to say that we are working hard to get a full open source software stack plus free access to facilities available to Solaris users everywhere. and *** Merry Christmas *** ! Dennis Clarke Director Blastwave.org [1] Web based sign up will follow soon as I can get past some other items on my to do list.
