Things i have talked about with Adriaan after last week's Preso, and which we would like to do for KDE Solaris, for starters: - GUI for ZFS - GUI for DTrace - KDeveloper module for Sun Studio The day after Adriaan's presentation we met with the Studio Compiler Team, and we talked about writing a KDeveloper GUI module for Sun Studio/dbx/mdb (KDeveloper already has a GUI module for gcc/gdb). In my mind, Zones, RBAC, SMF, FMA and xVM are also prime candidates for Desktop GUI integration. Examples: One should be able to configure ZFS, or to get stats information about existing ZFS configurations (observing appropriate privileges), or to create snapshots/restore from snapshots/clone with mouseclicks only. The same idea would apply to Zones. Or, one should be able to obtain DTrace output displayed in an intuitive graphical format: if a developer is instrumenting their application, they should be able to display a graph of the function calls sequence and associated "costs". The function/method/class names should be hyperlinks -- the developer should also be able to click on a function name, which would take them to the source code of that class/function/method. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc.
