So, it seems the crux of the matter is the following decision:
1. OpenSolaris should remain a source base only. Sun and others use that source base to build (potentially incompatible) operating systems based on the OpenSolaris code base. 2. OpenSolaris should be an operating system in its own right. Multiple implementations (distros) can still exist, but they must remain compatible with each other to use the name OpenSolaris. Some people here think #1. Other people here think #2. So, it appears we're at a decision point. How exactly does the "community decide"? Just wondering, because that isn't entirely clear to me. And if there's no clear answer to that, then something's very wrong, because in the absence of clear decision making processes, we're just going to argue endlessly. If you want more details on why this thread worries me, see http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/murdockint.html). P.S. - The decision really isn't as stark as that just yet. All we're asking for is a project where we can *explore* #2.. -ian -- Ian Murdock 650-331-9324 http://ianmurdock.com/ "Don't look back--something might be gaining on you." --Satchel Paige _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
