Folks,
A while back I had asked the community for feedback on list of
networking related tools/libs/utilities and other opensource
technologies that we need to implement/port to Solaris to help the
Solaris developer community expand. See thread:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=159408𦺰
I got several responses, and now have a list of packages. I now need
your feedback on setting the priority of the items in the list. Please
see the attached file and provide input on the follwoing:
1.The top 10 list ( on priority, level of committment and
where the package belongs)
2. Same input on the next set of 18 packages that are listed
on the attached file(so we can get to them once the first set
of 10 has been addressed)
3. Is it worth putting these on the list (and if so at what priority?) :
net-snmp http://www.net-snmp.org/
smokeping http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/
mrtg: traffic garpher http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/
nagios (Net Mgmt) http://www.nagios.org/
mtr (ping/traceroute) http://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr
