I'm wondering if it would be helpful to think of this in terms of what Novell and Red Hat do today. They pull together a dizzying list of components (the Linux kernel, GNU binutils, GNU fileutils, GNOME, Firefox, ...) into an installable release. But the individual components decide their release schedule and content, not Novell or Red Hat. mike _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
