Effectively we all are basing our builds on other stuff - the upstream community eg. GNOME, Mozilla, KDE, ... I'd love to see us unifying the stack, it makes a huge amount of sense from a development point of view. However, it's not so easy - there's package names to think about for a start. A lot of the ARC commitments we've made previously may conflict with basing things off Blastwave. We also need to think about unifying the build systems, the dependency chain, and coming up with some sort of package management story. All relatively hard problems in themselves let alone trying to tackle them all at once. Glynn _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
