It's pretty much everything; for example, just a few clicks from Wiki+Home
gets one to http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/OpenIndiana+Releases
which would be funny if it weren't so sad (here it is late in the first
quarter of 2015, and the 2011.Q4 release is "Pending").
If it looked as though there might be a road map leading somewhere I might
have been more inclined to pursue OpenIndiana as a Linux replacement (must
get away from the systemd debacle), but I couldn't find anything
encouraging, and while there is a lot that looks interesting, there are too
many critical issues that seem to be being ignored, so I'm focusing on
something (viz. NetBSD) that does appear to be moving forward.
Yeah, you are absolutely right.
So here are firstly - mailing lists to move things forward.
Soon as people diagnose what everyone is capable of doing to contribute
(in terms of free time, money, knowledge and craftsmanship) in various
areas, things can move forward.
Regarding managing services on Unix-like OSes, illumos and Opensolaris
descendent OS'es enjoy Service management Facility (SMF), maybe you
could comment how it stand for you, comparing to other service
management ways you mentioned? If you have OI installed, you could try
it out. (And see if it could be improved).
Most encouraging about OI currently is that no one stands in your way! :)
If wanting to fork, build or use existing development machines , just
request account.
If wanting to make changes (you are already making them actually), just do.
If want to form a group over some issue of a RFE, just form it :P
Rest is coming your way.
Aha and not to forget, if you do name "critical things that seems to be
ignored", at your opinion,
I am sure we'll all be much obliged , because that's kind of things that
are needed to make fire star :)
Oh yes and there's "tiny-miny" License difference between CDDL and *BSD.
We are like, Copyleft instead of "Free for all". But CDDL can link with
other licenses (open or closed) to create distributable binaries, so
code could be shared between *BSD variants and others. So one can have
"both cakes" and be Copyleft.
Ah and Solaris (illumos is Opensolaris descendant) is much better then
anything else and it usually foster ABI compatibility, driver
compatibility , nicer network speed and virtualization (crossbow, zones)
etc :)
Actually we miss UDF support that's nice in NetBSD, that things needs
porting :)
Everything else, Netbsd is missing even more :P
