I agree, it's sad that there has been no sign of life besides that newer source code has been made available. On the other hand as it looks, Oracles' procedure is by going through review process one Sun project / product after another to check if it's worth to continue. - And if so, in what direction Oracle wants to steer their efforts. I think that's ok, but ignoring the (still small) community around it, is causing more FUD than necessary.
Personally I'm also sceptic about what is going to happen but I'd say from the legacy pieces Oracle bought from Sun, Solaris and OpenSolaris are maybe one of the bigger chunks so it needs more time to go through. I'd understand if Oracle may want to care also about pushing efforts on Solaris-next so it can bring out a new enterprise release of Solaris. - AFAIK first Solaris 10 release now dates back to 2005. I recognized that Nexenta who based their Distribution on 134 backported lots of bugfixes from later ON source so code quality is still (or more than before the merger) increasing. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
