Glad to see you back on the list Martin, you are welcome sharing your views.
OI is in need of source contributors testing and maintaining. I am glad you are using CDDL for code contributions, as per release notes and I like your dedication to support SPARC. OI also supports SVR4 .pkg packages so this could be looked at as rehearsal of making external products to Openindiana/illumos, although there is also possibility of making IPS repository, accessible using certificates. I want to be able build FF and and other things too, by myself locally, so I can contribute in area I can. So having binary-only does not help in that. That said, without source, you can not be sure what is inside, like it was for chromium port we already had here. There is also SeaMonkey port to OI that needs maintaining. (I have it somewhere and I _think_ I have seen sources somewhere, let me get back on this) There are more people here wanting to build FF on this list and OI and I would like to collaborate on building FF/SM and chromium with them. I know there are patches available, that Oracle uses to contribute their regular builds. http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Firefox _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
