Having recently made some non-trivial changes to the ON build, I'd like to inject a note of caution here. I agree that changing the build to increase parallelism does not require deep knowledge of Solaris internals. But it *does* require some ability to deal with large bodies of code. And it will likely require quite a bit of patience (e.g., untangling implicit build dependencies). I think the project is worth proposing, but let's make sure we manage it in a way that encourages success. cheers, mike _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
