XML-based would be very nice. Even it were just an XML-build language that generated the final package ala the WiX project for MSIs (http://wix.sourceforge.net/). One of the nice things about using an XML build language is integration with an automated build process. It does seem to me that have a

Seconded. This goes to Keith Bierman's discussion about large Linux customers moving to Solaris. Everything has to compile/build/work seamlessly for those kind of environments to contemplate the move.

My two cents probably isn't worth much. That being said, branding/marketing seems like a pretty important discussion to me given the target of expanding OpenSolaris mindshare.

Hi Guys, It seems to me that its always a good idea to keep /tmp and /var/log separate, that way filling up your root partition or the /var/log partition, doesn't affect the OS's ability to allocate and use temp files. Some strange things start happening when /tmp is full. Just my opinion. Best
