The way i get it, upstream is oracle and they abandoned the gui manager. Also it was mentioned that the old program is not quite compatible with new pkg, and there is an alternative gui to consider instead of maintaining the old one.
Fwiw, i did see the gui package manager, but sometimes it did fail, so even on a laptop i mostly used the command-line tool.

OpenIndiana becomes a niche OS rather than all-purpose superior alternative to Linux. GUI in a modern world is a must-have. Why Android and iOS dominate the mobile world? They are easy to use and multipurpose - thanks to GUI. Why Nokia lost its mobile devices business? They failed to change with changing world. I understand that OpenIndiana is server-oriented, but there are server-related tasks, which are much easier done with GUI. Update. Package install. Network configuration. Are we supposed to teach new generation of sysadmins old-school kabbalistic tambourine dances from 1960's? > IPS GUI was removed from upstream IPS repository. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
