Don't overreact just yet. I may be the "bad cop" for raising the flag that says "fork" but my primary purpose is to raise awareness and take some action other than making popcorn and watching people post messages that all say "Where is 2010.03 ?" over and over. I don't like sitting on the sidelines. As for legacy, yes, we keep supporting those production datacenters running Solaris 8 upwards and you can expect a new GCC 4.4.3 any day real soon now : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2010-04/msg00431.html As well as a 64-bit ready Apache + MySQL etc etc etc. -- Dennis Clarke [email protected] <- Email related to the open source Solaris [email protected] <- Email related to open source for Solaris _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
