G'day Thanks for your answers - it has initiated an interesting informal discussion on IRC #nexenta including people from:
- Nexenta Systems (lindakateley, Triskelios and andy_js) - OI (Alasdairrrr, aszeszo), - NCP users and package builders (TekniX and myself) - StormOS (andy_js) Thanks all of you for sharing your ideas and expectations! The original idea was to condense the results in a message to the list but since it got quite exhaustive and 2 of us believed later it should be good to get give Nexenta the chance to verifiy we understood them corectly and Nexenta as a whole knows what the want to do in this area. Thank you Linda for offering check with the company / engineering. But at least I'd like to show you that we have discovered 3 parties in this discussion: - OpenIndiana users with IPS packaging: Happy with their package choice, IPS and a more unix-ish userland - Nexenta Systems: - Want a illumos build for their Product with DPKG packaging, - Some (core? ) packages taken from OI. - The interest for dpkg is also (but not only) based on established knowhow, teams and processes at Nexenta systems - NexentaCore users: This is a group of people who became interested in illumos via the bridge offered by NexentaCore because of its Debian-similar environment with the great illumos experience. - And they are happy like the OI users/devs with their choice Over the course of the discussion we came to the point where we think a more Debian-ish distribution has a group of interested people after a Post-NCP3 era and we might have found a possibility for paving the the next steps. >From my side I'll update you once Linda gets stuff from Nexenta side cleared up on monday.
