I am talking OpenSolaris (but many things apply to Solaris as well). 1) No roadmap (do you have seen one recently) 2) Support for "new" hardware is still in development branches (new SAS 2 controllers from LSI in svn_134) 3)svn_134 has still lots of bugs/issues (at least in the GUI): NIC configuration is a pain; better go via command line 4) some key components (i.e. ramdisk implementation) have severe performance issues (a ram disk running at 500MB/s on DDR3 1333 is slower than working on a striped physical disk set; same ramdisk on Linux on same hw runs at several GB/s)
I think the delay is making both developers and users nervious... The longer the delay the more difficult it is to put things together..so I think we have now arrived at the fork debate again and produce a community edition with substituted licensed packages..we have now had enough delays before developers get involved in other projects.It would be posible to run it along side any future developments...this seems to be what BSD has done? I can't help feeling that Oracle will put professionals off contributing into a project owned on a commercial basis..... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
