If Sun did like a real and open discussion, this "discission" did not
start before SCCS and Teamware has been made OpenSource.
The fact that this is still not the case (for Teamware) causes the impression
to me that it was no really possible to have an "open" discussion with respect
to "open end". Please note that I do not contribute to a discussion that does
not allow me to influence the result.
Teamware has been written by Larry McVoy and it should not be a problem to make
it OSS, but I believe that we may not even need Teamware at all if we did
enhance SCCS the was I did describe recently.
Now that SCCS is OSS and I did have a look at it and ported it to all other
major platforms, I would guess that it takes about 1-2 Man Months to add the
features we would need for OpenSolaris. This would allow to keep the old
SCCS history. If you did miss the proposal for the SCCS enhancements, I could
repost it.
