G'day,

I haven't seen it mentioned on this mailing list so I thought I'd send it
through:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAzMDE

*"It appears that the kernel source-code to Solaris 11 was leaked onto the
Internet this past weekend.

As was * *brought up in the
forums<http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?65756-Solaris-11-source-code-leaked>this
morning and then confirmed, the source-code to Oracle's Solaris 11
kernel was leaked onto the Internet over the weekend via torrent sites. The
kernel source-code is based upon build 175 and the ZFS zpool is at version
33.

In August of 2010 was when * *Oracle killed
OpenSolaris<http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODUwNQ>and
changed the Solaris development model after most of the operating
system's code-base had been opened up by Sun Microsystems back in 2005
during the Project Indiana days.

Oracle hasn't provided any open-source updates yet to the kernel but they
do make some code available to Oracle Technology Network members. * *Oracle
Solaris 11 <http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTAxMzQ> was
officially released last month without any public source-code drop.

The compressed 100MB package is of a Solaris 11 kernel snapshot but not the
source to any other parts of the new operating system's stack.* *"*


And more importantly.. Merry Christmas to you and your families.

Cheers,

Travis Freeland
