Hi,
as it seems that real work is done with ksh93 integration after a
maling list and a project hast bee created, I propose to create something
similar for star.

Note that there was a plan to have star in Solaris 10 and the related PSARC
has been approved long time ago and we need to get ready before the feature
freeze for Solaris 11 hits.

The first step would be to interate the software from the star package into
OpenSolaris, to replace /etc/rmt with the version from star and to convert fsdump/ufsrestore to use star's librmt.

This needs to be done before the feature freeze hits.

The second step would be to replace /usr/bin/tar by star, but this may be done in a more relaxed way....

Hi Jörg,
it seems like you have relaxed your plans for world domination
a little bit :-)

Can you point me to a url which describes the benefits of
star's librmt and /etc/rmt provide over Solaris' existing
versions? I haven't used star much at all, so I'd like to
get up to speed with everything in the package.


thanks in advance,
James C. McPherson
