Hey all,
Would website-discuss be interested in doing a home-page splash to
notify folks as to the intentions around the end-of-life of SXCE?
Perhaps something like -
Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) is planned to discontinue by
the
end of October this year. Consolidations will move towards producing
native Image Packaging System (IPS) packages alongside SVR4 during
a continued bi-weekly build schedule, and then phase out the latter
completely.
If you are new to OpenSolaris, download OpenSolaris OS and try out the
latest development and innovations!
thoughts?

Reply-To: OpenSolaris Discuss <[email protected]>
Sun is announcing the intent to discontinue production of the
Solaris Express
Community Edition (SXCE) by the end of October time-frame. As we
intend to
continue on a bi-weekly build schedule, consolidations will move
towards
producing native Image Packaging System (IPS) packages alongside SVR4
packages and then phase out the latter completely. Technologies such
as
IPS, Automated Install, Snap Upgrade and the Distribution
Constructor will be
integrating into a consolidation after following through the
established
processes including architectural (ARC) review.
We recognize that this transition will require some effort for all
members of
the OpenSolaris development community, and are committed to working
with
all of you in making that transition a success. You can expect
updated
information from us and the communities which manage the
consolidations
as we further plan the transition schedules.
Questions can be directed to David Comay, Glynn Foster, William
Franklin,
Stephen Hahn, Dave Miner, Vincent Murphy, or Dan Roberts.
