> Shells a modern bash (3.x+) as default shell for new users would be great; typically our local sysadmins all immediately run bash right after login to get a shell with history, command completion, etc. :) [this is not a linuxism; osx doesn't use tcsh anymore either :)] i'm not opposed to the current sh staying default for root; there's some utility in that (in that it gives some added backwards-compat for badly written installer scripts..), and no one should be logging in as root anyhow. zsh in the build would be nice for people who have that particular kink. > Userspace Utilities (compiler, archiving, editors, ...) solaris seems to be doing pretty well on this front... except for tar. sun probably needs a tar modernization project. gnutar extensions plus POSIX acls plus whatever acl support is necessary for nfsv4 and ZFS acl support. :-) bundling a saner build of Amanda with opensolaris, rather than the pile of doody that's in SFW currently, would be the bees knees. > Languages (C, Python, Perl, ...) modern python please. better support for people using either/or gcc and sunstudio on the same box, better conflict avoidance in compiler toolchains. --e _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
