Thanks for pointing that out and for the links. I was misinformed. Still, the Register's article notes the following:
>The OpenSolaris ARM port, as you can see from the updated OpenSolaris 2008.05 >release notes, is actually based on the initial 2008.05 Project Indiana >release of OpenSolaris, which is now two releases behind. The OSARM project page doesn't lead me to believe that that has changed. Thus, saying that the ARM port was "completed" is not exactly correct. The port has not been integrated into the current code base, and that would involve a nontrivial amount of work. All that I wanted to say is that the issue here is not simply that Oracle is single-minded in its pursuit of profit. I'm saying that even from the perspective of a Unix enthusiast who wants OpenSolaris adoption to increase considerably over the next years, I am not sure whether supporting ARM (and that means maintenance and constant bug fixes) is such a great idea. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ ogb-discuss mailing list ogb-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ogb-discuss
