Mainly because those packages have been imported from Solaris directly, so they retain their historical names. That will change eventually. As for "most of us expect"; that depends on who you talk to. > And last one, why you can't merge you efforts with guys from Nexenta and > blastware and make one big repository? Nexenta has a competing commercial effort, so obviously, that would be at odds for Sun to be part of since they have their own commercial product. As for blastwave, the repository functionality of ips will give them the ability to easily run their own repository, and I believe they will have one soon. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "To err is human -- and to blame it on a computer is even more so." - Robert Orben _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
