It's been posted a number of times to this mailing list that you can build the OpenSolaris sources on the OpenSolaris distro, including several in the last day in this very thread. > IPS seems to be just one of many problems. IPS is a packaging system, not a bug. (It has lots of bugs, and a lot of needed features aren't yet implemented, but that's expected.) > Where is the current complete list of remaining problems? All the ones we know about are in http://bugs.opensolaris.org and http://defect.opensolaris.org (except for security bugs which are unfortunately only visible in the Sun-internal bug database). If there are problems that you see with the system that aren't filed in either place, then they're not on anyone's list but your own. > Once we know this, we can start to discuss when a transition may be possible. We're not waiting for it to be perfect first - software never is, and will always have bugs, and since this is all development builds, not production releases, isn't even expected to be feature-complete. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
