2.1. Availability through OpenSolaris /contrib repository
The OpenSolaris /contrib repository [1] is a more appropriate
mechanism for delivering Areca Backup to interested consumers.
A separate and independent project will provide Areca Backup
availability through the OpenSolaris /contrib repository.
It seems that someone actually needs to own and maintain contrib
for this plan to go forward; right now contrib is not well
maintained, and maintainers are not responsive to bugs.
Indeed. This case is obviously not unique; there are a significant
number of cases coming through the process with the shared goal of
vacating the SFW consolidation of software that the project team has
identified as being better suited for the /contrib repository. Perhaps
it would be productive to have a discussion about this greater goal and
the type of infrastructure that is needed to accomplish it. An umbrella
case would be a good medium to have such a discussion.
