Guys, Let me introduce myself. My name is Sunay Tripathi who *had* been with Sun/Solaris for a long long time and tinkered around with the OS. Its great to see you guys taking the initiative. I was looking to see if people were looking to take any major projects. Given the focus around packaging, some work around IPS would be useful. Specially related to file based URIs. The dependency on someone else's repo has been the most complained about part of IPS from general community.
For instance, you could have all the packages in file form in SVR4 and write scipts to install identical system without needing the network was something useful and I think we never completed that work in IPS. I wrote some more on my thoughts on what it takes to make a open source OS succeed in long term here http://sunaytripathi.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/solaris-as-an-open-source-alternative-to-linux/ Anyway, if there is some interest from people to work in this area, we can start a discussion. Again, keep up the good work. Cheers, Sunay _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
