Anyone coming from a UNIX background knowing that OmniOS has it's roots in OpenSolaris would reasonably expect that something depending on programs/libs found in /usr/bin,/lib,/usr/lib would continue to work on the next release. If omniti chooses not to have any compatibility guarantees for python (or perl or java), they should be moved to a separate tree (perhaps /usr/omnios or even /usr/omnios-private). Kind of like how Solaris put the unstable bits in /usr/sfw. -- Tim Rice Multitalents [email protected] _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
