I heard this and other comments from Sun employees and management in the last week. Did Oracle cancel its commitment to Opensolaris? It sounds like the status of Opensolaris has finally changed - and the news do not look good. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Fred Thornborrow <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM Subject: [request-sponsor] Please Close Request - 5007466 To: [email protected] Please close this request. The bug was updated with this update in Oct 2009:- Subject: [Star-developers] Discussing and defining future star enhancements From: Fred Thornborrow <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:30:41 -0700 To: [email protected] CC: Bonnie Corwin <[email protected]> Hi Joerg, I've been asked to review the request to integrate STAR into SFW. I manage the consolidation and requests come into the consolidation across the company but I don't own each component. I see that there is over 5 years of history with this request including an ARC case 2004/480. Firstly I want to just clarify the current situation as the previous engineer working on this request has since left the company. Firstly are the tasks to be done the same:- # Add star* to /usr/sfw/bin # Replace /etc/rmt with rmt from star # Add librmt to /usr/sfw/lib # Modify ufsdump/ufsrestore to use librmt Once I have a good understanding of the amount of work involved and across which consolidations then I'll be able to evaluate if this project is worth progressing. Many thanks, Fred Thornborrow I've yet to get a response. With the recent re-org and Oracle transition and the unknown commitment to OpenSolaris I suggest that this bug be closed again. If there is any interest within Sun or Oracle of using STAR then this bug could be reopened and re-evaluated again. *** (#4 of 4): 2009-11-25 09:43:38 PST [email protected] _______________________________________________ request-sponsor mailing list [email protected] -- Irek _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
