Somewhere underneath the plans to get the rest of the Install code capable of being open sourced. It's taken alot longer to get the rest of the Install code opened up than we thought. Though not too surprising considering the work that you have to do when undertaking such an endeavor coupled with the resource limits we have had. We're working on it though. > Building workspaces via tarballs is very painful. Could you define 'very painful' for me? While I realize that the current build process for the packaging tools is highly sub-optimal and the term 'hack' comes to mind, it mostly just works in my experience. Are you running into any specific issues that we might be able to address short term? Cheers, -- Glenn Lagasse Solaris Install Sun Microsystems, Inc.
