Some known issues in this area are: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7010355 - splitting tk bindings out of the core python package http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7010324 - splitting X apps out of the core groff package http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6574610 - splitting glib out of the gnome-base-libs package Those are all from spec files in the jds spec-files repo, so it should be possible for someone from OI to work with the folks on desktop-disc...@opensolaris.org to make it happen for everyone. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
