I know you were referring to zfs but I just took it one step forward and asked if there are closed parts, but Shawn has already covered this part. So, I think this list of no-open is quiet long and can be a stopper for a full blown security repo.

As Sun/Oracle employees we were/are not allowed to say why they are closed (there are various legal reasons). > this does not stand then I see no reason why a security repo shouldn't be > implemented. It won't be possible for anyone employed by Oracle (or its affiliates) to be involved in that effort in any way. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
