Following the official proposal guidelines, I'd like to take this opportunity
to propose that we collaborate with the KDE e.V. and kde-core-devel in order to
integrate KDE as an OpenSolaris project
Ok, lets refine this proposal:
1. Deliver KDE3 to /usr/kde3/ and reserve /usr/kde4/ for KDE version 4.
No /opt/blabal or /usr/sfw/junkblabla
2. Ship a Sun/Solaris-branded KDE which uses the default SuSE Linux 10
configuration as default (e.g. things like emacs-like input/edtor modes
for widgets, enable the klipper clipboard tool by default etc.) to
increase interoperability+productivity.
What Sun choose or do not choose to deliver with their Solaris product is
not something an OpenSolaris product can choose or enforce, and as such is
irrelevant here.
I would leave the location of your deliverables as something to decide upon
later, based on the above. I really don't like the idea of delivering
unbundled software into /usr (though if your build were to make it easy to
deliver to both /opt/OSOLkde or /usr/<blah>, that would work, but again,
something for the project to decide when more is known).
Also, as Darren pointed out, the use of Sun's branding is something that
would need to be carefully figured out with Sun (I would assume you can't).
3. The package should be named SUNWkde* (where '*' means the suffix for
the packages) and targets delivery into Solaris 11.
Again, the choice of what makes up Sun's Solaris product is not yours to
make. Given that, it maybe be better to leave the choice of package prefix
until such a time as its known whether SUNW is appropriate to use.
