This has been a nagging concern for me for some time.
I find it somewhat uncomfortable that OpenSolaris (or rather, ON) is not
self-hosting.
The compiler isn't a big issue for me, but the contents of closed/ and
SUNWonbld definitely are; for one our codebase is somewhat of a lame
horse without them and for two it's a PITA to have to check for new
versions before building anything.
Questions:
1) Why isn't SUNWonbld in hg? [For instance, the ctf* tools are already
in hg, so why aren't they just built as a build tool?]
2) Is there any mileage in cleanrooming the contents of closed/ (and
anything in SUNWonbld that can't be opened now) ?
3) If so, how do I help or get this started? [I obviously need someone
with the sources, so it's no use telling me to just get started]
