Hmmm, since Larry owns you now, I think you guys might very well be the ones doing that SMF manifest! (And that's a good thing.)

SMF is not exactly what I'd call simple, let alone developer friendly. When I started developing SMF manifests, many, many things were just a big, undefined question mark, in spite of the documentation. Many things that I had to go and ask either Liane Praza or David Bustos directly. Otherwise, I'd still be stuck wandering in the dark, doing reverse engineering. What an enormous investment of time and effort to do that! We've since corrected some of the issues and David opened several CRs, but I would still hesitate to call SMF developer friendly. Let's face it: yes, SMF is powerful. But it's also complex to develop for. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
