Let me add an example I came across last weekend:
in.dhcpd is present on OpenSolaris but it is unusable because of two
reasons:
- I cannot be configured by a simple configure scipt
but requires to use configurator programs instead.
These programs depend on Java that is not part of
OpenSolaris and not freely redistributable.
As a result, in.dhcpd on OpenSolaris is 100% unusable.
- The configuration is so cryptic that I failed a fifth
time to understand it and it was another time that I
compiled and configured ISC dhcpd instead and configured
it within 2 minutes without even reading the man pages.
Well, I need to replace in.dhcpd from Sun by a working program which could be
ISC dhcpd. Unfortunately Sun's "add_install_client" and similar scripts
depend on Sun dhcpd....well, I could argue that "add_install_client" does not
work correctly for x86 systems and needs to be fixed anyway.
How do we deal with, [etc...]
With the development of the devproc and the opening of the ARC process.
Question (for Joerg and all): There have been some messages posted
regarding the status and progess of the above two projects; has it been
enough?
