Sure! This also does not seem to be correct, as it lists OnmiOS as an Illumos based distro, but is this was true, Omnios did just have a broken od implementation in /usr/bin instead of no od implementation. As mentioned several times before, in November 2010, Illumos decided not to collaborate with other developers and in addition ignored a rejected code review for a broken od implementation that in turn was added to the illumos code base despite a known list of several bugs. For this reasons, illumos failed to become the community OpenSolaris successor. There are several similar disjunct continuation projects with different goals. SchilliX-ON exists since Garret DAmore made obvious that he is not willing to collaborate and after he added his buggy od.c sourcecode. SchilliX-ON among others supports compressed SVr4 packages that can be directly installed from the network for Intel and Sparc since February 2011. What OpenSolaris needs is a list of development activities that would allow people to know what other people do and what probably could be taken from others.
