One of the biggest problems I just noticed is the stall in promoting packages from pending to contrib.
Contrib: http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib/en/index.shtml packages: 351, last updated December 15, 2009 Promoted to contrib: http://jucr.opensolaris.org/statistics/promoted_packages packages: 186, last updated (according to browser page info) December 17, 2009. Pending: http://jucr.opensolaris.org/pending/en/index.shtml packages: 1174, last updated April 27, 2010. That's disgraceful, IMO. Not sure whether the last update to pending indicates updates not being accepted, or just impact of all the delays and silence on participation. To be reasonably vibrant calls for more than that. Even server users would benefit from many of the packages; Sun Ray server users (remote desktops, actually) most obviously, but stuff like Business::US::USPS::Webtools would probably get used on a server too (just the first of no doubt many examples I happened to see, certainly not the hardest to do for oneself). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
