I meant that it should not be named with OpenSolaris. Nor should it be claimed that it is the community distro. How about: ---------------- Project Indiana aims to be Sun's new rapid release Solaris binary distribution. Project Indiana aims to incorporate many of the packaging and installation enhancements that the BSD and Linux communities pioneered. Primarily the ability to install additional software off network repositories, without worry of tracking down dependencies. In addition one of the goals is to have this release be based completely on freely open, and redistributable code. It is Sun's intention to contribute Project Indiana to the OpenSolaris community, and petition the community to adopt it as the primary "OpenSolaris" community distro. The stated goal, is that when someone wants to download "OpenSolaris" they will not have to make any confusing choices. At this point the original goals of the OpenSolaris community have yet to be reconciled with Sun's new goals for Project Indiana. > -- > Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst > http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ > > "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all > junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics > are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall > -- - Brian Gupta http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nycosug/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
