In other words, Joerg: You need to file a request-sponsor case if you
want STAR integrated. Until you have done that (and nobody here cares
about what transpired before OpenSolaris.... take your beef with
non-open-Solaris up with someone else who cares), please stop
complaining about it here. To put it very simply, you are beginning to
sound like a broken record.
As I said earlier: show your commitment by deeds not words. The next
time I hear you complain about how you can't integrate star because Sun
is against you and no one will do the work, I'm going to add a filter so
I never see mail from you again, and you'll thereby lose any chance
whatsoever of getting any help from me in the future. I would be
shocked if others haven't already taken such action.... your incessant
complaining is driving folks away from what you claim to want most ---
helping you integrate your software.
