Thanks for the tip on the auto-installer! Is the root cause of the problem that SUNWmfrun contains some kind of cryptography module that can't be exported under U.S. laws or is it more of an issue with a third-party company that owns intellectual property or part of the code that prevents free re-distribution? Whenver the cryptography export restrictions created problems with FOSS, the OpenBSD devs in Canada could usually be relied upon to create a Canadian version of the same cryptography module that works just as well as the original and wasn't subject to export restrictions. Also, does flar create not work well with the ZFS version used in 2008.11 and that's why it's not in there? Or is flar supposed to be replaced by some feature in ZFS? Or is the flar code owned by a third party that won't allow free redistribution of it? I haven't heard any hints from anybody at Sun yet as to why it's impossible to have a flash archive package for Indiana. If someone were to say, find the source code for flarcreate and try to build it on Indiana, do you think it would work? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
