Geez, Redhat, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Centos must all
be doing the wrong thing then deploying updates to
their thousands of users whether they are individual
desktops or people who keep their own local repository
for their servers.
With the exception of RedHat, those are all developer distros aimed at
casual hackers and small firms and desktop users, not professional
developers or production environments.
What seems to be the cause of confusion here is the fact that you expect the
Linux update model to work for OpenSolaris. It does not work for
OpenSolaris, because OpenSolaris has a completely different development
model. It does what you want, but in a completely different way. But what's
it to you if the end result is the same?
Why are people with Linux background constantly complaining about
OpenSolaris not fitting square pegs into round holes? Why is the Linux way
"one size fits all" shoe?
I read about "ease of use" phrases being flung around here like there's no
tomorrow.
I feel compelled to ask, hey, am I communicating with desktop users and
amateurs here who just want a Windows-like "clicky-bunty" system, or IT / CS
professionals??? Even if I am communicating with developers, I still have to
ask, how is someone going to be able to develop a good, quality product if
they don't really know the system they're developing for in depth?
