This type of situation is an exception, for distribution for instance. As a user I don't want more than one tar. I want one tar that works for me. And guess what? Yep, I want it named tar, not gtar, futar, star, etc...the command is tar and I would expect it to be in the core filesystem in most all cases (exceptions permitting). The question is how we get from where we are with multiples, to a point that we have an open version that is the most current, being worked on, in Solaris/OpenSolaris? That should be the goal of the community for all software in Solaris/OpenSolaris. Every piece of software should have the goal of being worked on as a community (i.e., both Sun and non-Sun folks), but that's not true at this time and will need time to workout. -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
