[arc-discuss] [install-discuss] Let's destroy the conary stuff. __/__ Re: Seeking early guidance for integrating a new package system into O/N. (conary)

[Bruce Rothermal]

I've been following this discussion for some time now and it would seem 
that it is very counter productive to the whole Open Community concept. 
We at Sun can't invite people from all over the world to contribute to 
Solaris and then put up road blocks because they don't know the Internal 
Sun procedures and protocols. Getting into shouting matches over 
language when its been made clear that English is not the contributors 
first language should not even be considered. It is our job at Sun to 
help them.

I'm not an expert at packaging and I don't control this project but I 
will speak up that this is wrong. Solaris is no longer a closed system 
and software that is open such as Linux have a choice of open software 
to pick and choose from. I do know that in Linux you have a choice of 
package management software, so to me the best thing for Sun is that the 
user gets a choice of package software (and any other software) so they 
can use the one they understand and feel comfortable using.
