It would be great to integrate SQLite 3 into SFW, if people don't want SQLite to be "supported by Sun". By "supported" I mean Sun will be responsible for maintaining the product and provide bug fixing. In stead of relying on the community for the fixes.
However, if it is not supported by Sun, some of the products, which is supported, might still keep a private SQLite for their own use. I think this is the way the support models work. --Irene On Thu, 2007-11-15 at 15:22 -0800, Stephen Lau wrote: > Liane Praza wrote: > > As I said internally the last time this discussion rolled through -- > > integrating SQLite into either SFW consolidation so that it was > > bundled with Solaris and other OpenSolaris based distributions by > > default would be a win for all of our customers.
