Can Open Solaris be built entirely from source?
Ask in [email protected] for details. The answer is
yes
except some closed binary parts which still await approval from the
stupid lawyers. I'd expect Open Solaris being built entirely from
source in a year
So really no then.
Thanks though.
How hard would it be to reimplement the binary parts? Are there
patent issues?
I counted for defined but unimplemented i18n parts of libc. there's
about 150 functions that need to be rewritten. IBM released an
implementation under an artistic license, so those can just be
lifted. I just finished the count a few days ago, i was going to
start working on them this weekend
