And BTW Jim, this is exactly why I believe we need a seperate repository hosted outside of Sun and in the community. This PSARC case was filed back in October of 2007. We are 7 months from the time of PSARC and the package has not been putback yet. I'm not trying to belittle Sun for the time it takes, I know very well why it takes so long for this stuff. This is an opportunity for the community to create and use the package while Sun ushers it through their own system. We can't have this type of barrier to entry for our community. We will be doomed to failure, IMO, just because we will not be able to keep up with the other open source communities. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
