PSARC - Platform Software ARC. The ARC that reviews changes to the kernel level and core OS utilities and related areas. Most ARC cases for changes to the ON consolidation go to PSARC, as do some for other consolidations. LSARC - Layered Software ARC. Reviews desktop & application software (GNOME, StarOffice, Firefox, etc.), developer tools (compilers, netbeans), system administration tools, network servers (web servers, app servers, etc.) and pretty much everything not covered by another ARC. FWARC - Firmware ARC. Covers OpenBoot PROM and other firmware in Sun hardware and it's interaction with the OS. Consolidation - see http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Consolidation Gate - a source code repository. Often used to refer to a consolidation source, such as "the ON gate", but also used to refer to a branch/fork being worked on for a project that intends to develop separately for a while, then merge back, like "the ZFS gate". -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
