This is something that currently does not fit the ON OSS model from Sun.
Unless we find a way that Sun makes more bits OSS, it may be that
e.g. Schillix is forced to supply different libs than Sun does.
Huh ? I truely don't understand what you are getting at here. Sun is
doing its bloody best to release as much code as quickly as we can.
What is left in ON that is closed source is closed for a reason.
But Roberts comment was about something like OpenSSL. We already ship
everything needed for OpenSSL all of our makefiles and our changes.
However what we didn't do for OpenSSL was treat it like other things in
the SFW consolidation (NOT the companion CD the SFW one) where we check
in a tar ball and use there makefiles from that. In hind sight that was
a mistake and you can if you wish blame me for it. It was me and me
alone that choose to have OpenSSL built they way it is in ON. There
were reasons to do this and if given the chance again I might do it
differently based on what I now know, but back then OpenSolaris wasn't
started and neither was Blastwave.
