btw: according to the leaked memo Oracle will provide source code for
Solaris, including ZFS, everytime they produce a new Solaris release.
This
would mean that it will still be open source, but development wouldn't
happen in open.
I read the same leaked memo, and what I took from it is that
it implies no interim feature updates (which for ZFS have
been occurring during the current Solaris release), and no
bug fixes (when needed). Just a code drop every major
release (24 months or so?). As to whether that is what
will actually happen is unclear (leaked memos are not
policy).
Well, they've just releases S10 U9 with ZFS updates.
Then they are about to publish Solaris 11 Express with even more new ZFS
features.
Have they published the source code? That is what I
talking about, source code that others could use to
update their implementations. I have no doubt Oracle
will continue to release updates for their closed source
releases.
Well, yes. All ZFS features in Solaris 10, including the latest update,
have been in Open Solaris for quite some time. The latest source
available is for build 147 while all features in the S10 update well
predate build 134.
