It's precisely this common build environment that the original poster is complaining about. He wants ON's CBE (which includes SXCE right now) to be minimized to make things easier on those using the unsupported-and-unusable-for-ON-builds OpenSolaris distribution, and the cost pushed off onto the projects that integrate with ON. I think that's basically the wrong angle of attack. We need to have ON builds on the OpenSolaris distribution supported first (they're not now). Once that's done, we need some way to manage the group of packages that are required to be installed in order to build -- including not just a mechanism (that looks simple) but also changes to the work that the ON project teams do and the ON C-team checklist for integration (naming the dependencies and verifying them). I think asking for random projects to shout their package requirements out into the dark is an insufficient solution to the problem. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
