Are you seriously looking to make this a policy? You know, "x11" is not "core/required" either. There are probably others. (not many, I admit, but still) This goes against a "day 1" method of doing things: if a Solaris library/program is "available", and it is reasonably assumed to always be up to date "enough", in the future, then we use it. yes we duplicate some sun libraries and progs, but only the ones where sun just doesnt keep their libs/progs up to date enough. if sun's slp libs are unusably out of date, I have no problem with shipping our own. But shipping our own, when we dont *need* to, is a huge change in policy and attitude for opencsw. I think it would merit a userbase poll. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers .:: This mailing list's archive is public. ::.
