Yeah I can do that if I feel like doing it but that is not the point. Point is
to make OpenSolaris a place where people can easily contribute their changes.
Why would I need to discuss that sort of thing (making and propagating my own
changes) on this list?
What happens when number of contributors make smaller changes and distribute
them on their own and finally the whole thing doesn't come together and people
are required to dig 100 sources just to get their stuff to work is not good.
Not plausible.
What happens when a change is required in main kernel and I cannot get it in
easily?
There is a need for some place central to pickup and integrate these type of
small changes and make the whole thing work - that place is OpenSolaris.
i see, so this is a problem for opensolaris but it is somehow not a
problem with linux right? most distributions ship a modified linux
kernel, hell even slackware does and slackware is mantained by 1 (
yes, one, THE man ) guy. you should be able to answer those questions
yourself since you already know how it is done from the linux world.
also, do you thing the linux mantainers accept changes so easily?
check reiser4, last time i checked it was contributed to the kernel
years ago and its still in andrew's tree (-mm)
