We also have hundreds of open source components in the SFW consolidation, not to mention the entire Gnome consolidation, as well as Mozilla.
So, there are what - 4 components in ON (you forgot tcp wrappers)? Nobody (least of all me - since I will be doing the actual integration) is saying star needs to be part of ON. In fact, all the arguments about the schily build system are irrelevant if we build star in the SFW consolidation - the same way we have been building Jorg's mkisofs and cdrecord stuff for years. Nobody has complained about those utilities. -- Ken Erickson | kene at Eng.Sun.COM Sun Microsystems, Inc., Solaris OS Engineering | Voice: (847)663-9471 4150 Network Circle MS UITA01 | Cell: (847)530-4603 Santa Clara, CA 95054 | If you want me to read something, don't send it as a StarOffice or HTML attachment.
