I'm investigating alternatives for providing an OVSDB server for
Oracle Solaris. One option I was considering was porting the OVSDB

feasible it would be to port only the OVSDB server from the
distribution. Is the OVSDB server in the distribution easily
separated from the OVS component(s). And if so, how portable is the
OVSDB source? Open doesn't always mean easily ported and I'm
wondering how portable the code would be into a non-Linux
environment. I'd appreciate any input/experience on this front.
OVS builds on Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and (increasingly) on Windows. If
it doesn't build on Solaris, it probably isn't very hard to port it.
This is encouraging. Have those ports been (or will they be) folded back
into the base code? Assuming a Solaris port was completed, would
changes, particularly portability related changes, be accepted back into
the base code?
