I agree with James. Many people suggested that Roland consider integrating KSH93 into the SFW consolidation. SFW is specifically geared towards handling open-source software not directly developed as part of OpenSolaris. SFW has different, and more relaxed, requirements for project integrations. It would have been a more suitable place for KSH93 and it would have taken less time to integrate there. Despite the advice offered to Roland, he chose to integrate KSH93 into ON. The standards for ON integrations should be the same, regardless of who is filing the RTI. Don't blame the KSH93 reviewers, who are also volunteers, for a choice that the KSH93 project team made. -j _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
