Hello all!

This is good news. It got me thinking a bit... a number of people, myself included, have volunteered to take on the task of caring for the repository, most notably Theo who will deal with security issues in Omnios "core". So the big question is what will happen to the repositories (022 and bloody). In IRC, Dan assured me that they will stay at OmniTI in the near future, until the community decides otherwise. This brings me to the following questions: - What is the process of contributing something to either repo in the "post-Dan" era? Send a pull request to Theo? Someone else? Some reviewed semi-automatic process? (I am still not friends with git :-) - Who decides what goes into the repo? - Who will sign the 022 repository packages? (Remember that they currently are signed using OmniTI-owned certificates.) - Who will maintain a mechanism to retrieve and/or store the upstream sources for the various open source components in OmniOS userland? I don't care much about community governance and release model and project structure. I do care about a well-maintained repository that is universally accessible and can be used by anyone anywhere wishing to update their 022 installation to the latest software. I have some more ideas but first things first. :-) Best regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
