That's not entirely true; quite a few people argued for "scripting at
install" and they were denied as there was clearly not a discussion
but more of a "this is the plan and we're not changing it".
These people have unsubscribed because they felt there was no actual
discussion taking place.
I think that our large customers are underrepresented in OpenSolaris and I
fear that the way AI-Install works complete disregards our most important
customers, at least, that is what some of them say to me.
The problem is that there has been all this great talk about AI, but the
software is really in it very early stages and as you say does not offer
all the features of Jumpstart (and may never do).
AI requirements
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/auto_install/AI_Reqs_Final
e.g.
4.2 Will provide initial install support
- Does not mention scripting in any form ...etc....
8.1.1 Will support http, https client/ server protocols
8.1.4 Will support boot from network but use local client profile on
USB, CD/DVD
8.2.1 CD/DVD/USB automated installation will be supported
