Sun Opens OpenSolaris.Org

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-faith-effort dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sun has launched the first version of opensolaris.org, featuring a small initial drop of source code. The idea is to make a display of good faith to the Solaris community while the rest of the source code due diligence is completed. The source code for Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) is available for download under the terms of the newly OSI-approved CDDL license."

    Sun really seems to like the Open-.org naming convention. They are probably trying to oppose Steve Jobs' iNaming.

    Is everyone so busy downloading that they don't have time to post their anti/pro solaris comments?

    Shocking, I tell you.

    Sun has an aweful track record of maintaining anything on the web. That includes their external website. A small example, you can't even find sun's Burlington Mass address on the site. Trust me, the list is a mile long. I expect this .org site to be well maintained for about a year at most.

    So, I downoad the code, and I take a look at it - the first thing through my mind, is "OMG - look at all the spagetti code!"

    Then I realized I opened a C file with Unix returns with notepad.

    Oops.

    Merging solaris code into the linux kernel is a lot more difficult then implementing the feature from scratch.

    write from scratch? Are you mad? lets just copy it over like we did with all that stuff from sco ;-)
