Where something is only important to 1 stream it shouldn't be kept in the main tree. If it can be organised in such a way as this can be a separate side project, or not cause a problem in tree then this should be the way to go about it. > Also no code should be added that did not get > a code review, or if even just a single person mentions a veto. > Disagree. Some people are dicks. While code review is very important, and code review from separate streams would be the best way to go, we can't have a single person saying that something should not happen because it might affect their system. If we allow this to happen then we will be causing the "distributions" to become more diverse, rather than sharing any code, and it will be easier for those teams to never bother to push code back than deal with the hassle that 1 jerk might cause months of work to be thrown away. > Important should be that there is a need for a common repository that > includes > SVr4 package meta data, because otherwise only the IPS fans are satisfied. > This sounds only sensible in theory, as long as the meta data for SVR packages is enough to produce more package formats than just svr4, e.g. deb/rpm (if such a beast is needed) > I would be glad if there was a way to find a way that avoids to do a single > work more than once and that could help OpenSolaris distros to be more > effective. > absolutely! Just my 2cents.
