There was years of discussion on mailing lists such as pkg-discuss, and the entire project to convert ON to build IPS was run in the public, with at least one external contributor heavily involved in the coding - you can still see the hg gate on opensolaris.org they used for development and the project mailing list on mail.opensolaris.org. The ARC case was unfortunately closed to the public, but there was one. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
