Another +1 here.
And for another huge reason why it's important to go hash it out ASAP,
consider the build systems that the other distros are planning/doing for
freeware apps:
- The SchilliX project plans to implement the SchilliX build system (SPS)
- The Belenix project plans to implement the pkgsrc build system.
- The Nexenta project already implements a Debian build system (with
_huge_ success I might add).
IMO, these distros are critically important to a goal we all share;
namely, to increase the popularity of OpenSolaris among the broader
worldwide open-source/UNIX/Linux community. Yet none of them has
endorsed either the Companion or Blastwave.
Belenix 0.4.2 provides a modified pkg-get; see
http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Belenix_FAQ#How_do_I_manage_packages_on_BeleniX_.3F_Does_the_existing_software_have_packaging_info_.3F
I don't see why any of them would have wanted to endorse the Companion
up 'til now, given its unclear future.
