The Blastwave user base includes government agencies, banks, NASA, JPL, MIT and piles of places that want a single source with one set of dependencies and then easy updates via something like pkg-get. So the KDE packages would be pushed out to a wide audience on day one and most likely win favour for the Solaris KDE desktop experience ( for those places that use it like MIT and NASA ) . Feels like a win-win for the package maintainers, the KDE project and Solaris users. There may be arguments for a completely independant set of packages with independant dependencies out of /usr/local or /opt/sfw etc etc. Dennis _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
