This point is distinct: a hypothetical distro's desire to amortize its own costs for customization across the participants in a consolidation--ON or otherwise--is a very different proposition from pulling things out of ON to get its size/appropriateness of content under control. - Stephen * I guess I don't see what's so fearsome about pulling out cat, sort, etc. from ON--if anything, pulling some of these out is a better test of binary compatibility than leaving them in and suffering from sympathetic compatibility errors (from being rebuilt against bad headers/interfaces). (That is, sunos-coreutils should be envisioned as a parallel package to gnu-coreutils, not a removal of every command from ON.) To be honest, I don't have time to pursue the impacts this removal might have, so treat it as speculation only. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
