NO SFW != ON as you should know. Also SFW is not a prototype it is the consolidation where stuff like Apache, Samba etc is built. Some of that stuff gets dumped into /usr/sfw and some of it appears in much friendlier places like /usr/bin and /etc/apache[2]. This project is about the SFW consolidation for Nevada. Unlike the ON consolidation the future of the SFW consolidation is less clear. > I certainly could see another project called "SFW for Solaris12" when > the time comes, though I hope that other software distribution > mechanisms will be in place before then ( i.e., blastwave, sunfreeware, > debian, etc...) and thats one of the things the SFW/CCD Community needs to decided on. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
