No, *NOT* 'aka the "Companion CD"'. SFW and the Companion are completely separate entities. SFW delivers packages to the WOS; the Companion is a separate, entirely optional and unsupported, product. Which do you mean here? It sounds like SFW or ON would be appropriate if you intend to integrate Quagga into the system's routing management. SFW makes sense if (a) it's expected that OpenSolaris contributors will expected to integrate any non-porting changes to Quagga upstream rather than in OpenSolaris, and (b) you are committed to keeping it up to date with respect to the updateam releases, and (c) updating the software if it were integrated into ON is deemed an intractable problem. SFW is not appropriate for a one-time integration of externally-derived software solely or primarily for the purpose of avoiding the cost of integrating into ON (or, specifically, dodging ON code-quality rules). The Companion would not be an appropriate target for any software on which any consolidation may have dependencies. Based on your outline of this project, you should not deliver to the Companion. -- Keith M Wesolowski "Sir, we're surrounded!"
