Joe,
Indeed, apt-get for Solaris would be quite useful :P
Isn't that Nexenta? Had to say it.
I don't want the Ubuntu Userland on an OpenSolaris code base. I'd prefer
a distribution as close to Sun's release of Sun Solaris (tm) that I can
get but without Sun Solaris', errrm, wonderful? package management.
Why do you care about the packaging system, if it works? IOW, do you really
care about what type of package is used if packaging in Solaris worked as it
should, with dependencies resolving properly?
I don't think you really care about .deb packages either, what I *think*
you're saying is "give me a packaging system that works like apt does!",
But that just brings us back to Joe's original point:
Isn't that Nexenta?
Note the Nexenta project is by all rights and intentions (Erast, correct me
if I'm wrong) a project of and by the OpenSolaris community.
(Question for the future OGB: does a Project/Community have to be hosted on
opensolaris.org in order to qualify its members for Core Contributor
status?)
Eric
if I
understand you correctly. I'm in agreement with you, if that is what you
meant, and packaging is being looked at inside (Open)Solaris Engineering.
I will be right in line behind you for a packaging system that works with
proper dependency resolution, as apt does with Debian. I want to be able to
install over the net also as apt has done for the past number of years.
Between the Caiman project and the Packaging, we'll be much closer if not
there in the future.
Check out the Installation and Packaging Community, if you haven't yet.
