Alvaro, you really need to explain this all better, especially the connection
between OpenSolaris and other architectures. E.g. programs like pstack, pmap,
pldd and others dealing with /proc stuff are and have been often life-savers
for me and they are one of the reasons I like Solaris. Would they be available
in Debian OpenSolaris distribution? Would that require porting them to other
architectures (there are quite a few different ones under Debian umbrela)? How
would stuff like that be handled. What about all stuff in /usr/bin/* that
is/was Solaris specific? Etc. etc.
Those p* commands are all standard on Linux as well (though not as needed,
since the files under /proc/$pid/* on Linux are mostly generated as text
files, not binary files like on Solaris), so presumably would be there in
any Debian port which uses Linux procps rather than either of the Solaris
ps command sets....
Well, I don't see e.g. pldd, pfiles and pargs in Debian sarge (that's the
Debian we use here) and e.g. pstack don't accept core file as an argument
so we don't have the same functionality. But that can all be changed, I
guess.
