Hi,
I wonder whether there would be an interest to add a directory of "unsupported" components in OI (OpenIndiana). Sometimes there are packages that could be useful for some users, and possibly too experimental for other users, or simply not supported by the OpenIndiana maintainers. I'm thinking of something along the lines of Patrick Volkerding's https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/unsupported/ Possibly there could even be an extra publisher, so that you have to add more than just openindiana.org origin online F http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/ unsupported origin online F http://pkg.openindiana.org/unsupported although that perhaps adding unsupported components to hipster itself can also be done. Also I've looked around in the oi-userland, and I see "closed" components, but not immediately "unsupported"; maybe I just did'nt see it ... Some examples that come to my mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog-ng syslog-ng for example. OpenIndiana has system/rsyslog and the old legacy SUNWcs (core solaris) syslogd: path file usr/sbin/syslogd pkg:/SUNWcs@0.5.11-2020.0.1.20430 Now some users may want to have syslog-ng. I'm personally not a big fan of syslog-ng , but it is possible that it could be useful as an addition. Maybe this can be in some sort of unsupported directory in OpenIndiana ?
