In my opinion, yes, because I see the "almost as many packaging systems, as major [Linux] distributions" as a key part of the Linux Distro Hell that I, for one, wish to avoid. Gratuitous incompatibility, as one person puts it. Being different because one can. In my mind, a complete and total waste of both developer's and customer's time. > If Brian wants to use a different one for what he wants to do with > opensolaris... seems like Sun should not get in the way of that. absolutely +1! On the other hand, one of the things he might be giving up could be the privilege to use the OpenSolaris brand on his distro.... -John _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
