Collaboration happens in the community. If you are a member of the OpenSolaris community, you should try to collaborate. This is a case to see whether there is collaboration or domination! No. You seem to operate under the misapprehension that collaboration implies that you get your way.

For this reason, the compare from imagemagick either needs to be renamed or it needs to be put into a different directory. Your compare command gives a name clash with ImageMagick's compare command; why don't you rename yours? Since there is already a plain file compare program cmp which is

As long as it it impossible to implement the arc decisions in OpenSolaris, OpenSolaris cannot evolve. ARC does not decide as much as approves, approves w/ TCRs or denies. But projects approved by the ARC are often implemented so to claim that that is impossible is ludicrous. But they are
