Because there are countless people outside Sun with expertise in building and maintaining open-source software, enabling a way for non-Sun people to contribute to the Companion CD probably should have happened _a long_ time ago. Nevertheless, I think the Companion CD concept still has merit. There are lots of customers who have a strong desire for any unsupported open-source software they might use to come from the same vendor that they purchased their platform/service contract from.
With the Companion CD being developed out in the open, maybe now it can become a subset of software which is derived from a larger "ports" project. Eric _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
