Where, then, would be the right place to discuss the sorts of issues that the use of open source software on Solaris raises? For instance, we have the interesting issue of what to do when some open source package becomes a fundamental part of Open Solaris itself. There are many such examples to look at -- libtecla, tcp_wrappers, OpenSSL. What should be done about that? Should this other consolidation (whether it's Blastwave, something else, or even both) continue to deliver those same bits? What technical issues arise in doing so? What packages should be migrated over and treated as parts of the system? I don't doubt that we've missed the boat here, and that there are common parts that "everybody" installs. Do we have a plan for them? I think it'd be great to have a place to discuss all this. I don't have a stake in this -- I don't really care whether the answer is Blastwave, sunfreeware, companion CD, or anything else -- other than seeing that the Open Solaris community looks at the problem seriously. If all it ends up doing is recommending some existing solution, I'd be thrilled. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
