Unless developer will use "Nexenta Sun Zone" (tm) which are comming out soon. This will allow to cross-develop Nevada binaries in Nexenta environment. Immediate plan is to use it for OpenSolaris build. But we still hope that one day OpenSolaris will be possible to compile in native Nexenta environment too. At any rate, bunch of binaries are not yet released to acomplish this task, so... Erast _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
