I thought I'd kick-start the discussion on this list.
The first topic on my mind is binaries.
Specifically :
1. Although this is an opensolaris project, I suspect that most current
users of Cool Stack are on Solaris 10. As such, do we want to
provide Solaris 10 binaries ? If so, do we do this in addition to an
OpenSolaris version ?
Note that although Cool Stack will run on Nevada, that will not be the
case for binaries built off the sources in the project repository due to
incompatibilities in the openssl/crypto libraries between Solaris 10 and
Nevada. (Cool Stack fixes the issue at build and pkgadd time by
hacking the library links).
2. We need to decide on how we package the binaries. Do we simply tar up
each app's directory ? We can also stick to Cool Stack's packaging
structure and tar up the directories in each package together (for
instance apache, php, mysql_32bit will be in a single tar).
And of course, we'll have to do this for both sparc and x86.
Thoughts ?
