>Dennis Clarke >Director and Admin for blastwave.org IHMO, in order for OpenSolaris to be accepted by mortals like myself, blastwave.org has to become an integral part thereof. I saw a lot of discussions on asking the Debian community to form a S/OS port. The idea is of course great, but the possibility that this may happen is a double-precisioned zero. The Fedora Core community had a similar thought but decided instead to go with "yum". Now the yum repositories colletively have more packages (that are in active use) than apt-get, and are updated much more expeditiously. Many Fedora users went with yum b/c that's what we were told/recommended to do (& to help its development). The resultant huge yum user base also caused yum to be drastically improved. At this stage, blastwave.org is much more established than when yum started--there is really no comparison. I am very interested in having my virgin experience with blastwave.org in the near future. But after a causual glance of the package list, I am wondering why there is no openoffice.org package? Also, does pkg-get handle dependency problems? How to become a package maintainer? How about starting own repositories? Thanks & Apologize for my silly questions.
