The SFW consolidation delivers a variety of third-party open source software to Solaris, such as the Apache HTTP server, Samba, and libusb. This consolidation delivers its content into /usr/sfw as an integral part of the Solaris OS, and should not be confused with the Freeware Companion CD/DVD. The latter is an unbundled offering included with Solaris media kits and available via the web at [0].
This proposal specifies the creation of a project, "SFW Nevada," under which the current release of this consolidation will be managed. The project is to facilitate coordination among the SFW Nevada C-Team, project teams targeting this release, and consumers of the technology it provides. Information to be disseminated from this project's site will include the consolidation's source, build and other documentation, C-Team project review materials, meeting minutes, and other process artifacts, and consolidation- and release-specific instructions for prospective contributors. The release of source for this consolidation and acceptance of external contributions will take place following the allocation of infrastructure to this project, on a schedule specified in the program road map[1]. This project seeks representation by and the endorsement of a broader community, the creation of which will be proposed in a separate post.
