Just for the record: the SLES 9 eval version available at http://download.novell.com/ contains the full set of 6 CDs, two of which contain the src rpms. To say SLES is not open source is a bit far-fetched - but it is aimed at earning money with it, that's true. What you pay for in SLES is exactly what you propose: additional testing and bugfixing and several years of maintenance. If you can find a group of people who can offer you this level of maintenance, who can guarantee you that they won't disappear when they find greener pastures, and are willing to do this on a volunteer, unpaid basis, just do it. And if you find them on this list, start a sub-project as has already been proposed. > All we need then is a infrastructure for this and some > people who mantain this.
