Observations from a West Coast family

Manifests so far

Monday 20 June 2005 - Filed under Process

To ward off unintentional duplication of effort, I thought I would list the service manifests submitted to date:

application/mysqlMySQL database serverKeith LawsonCanada
application/oracle/[database]Oracle database controlJoost MuldersNetherlands [Sun]
application/oracle/[listener]Oracle listener Joost MuldersNetherlands [Sun]
[application]/popfile[POPFile mail classifier]Iouri GoussevCanada
[application]/xprintX Window System Print serverPeter ErikssonSweden
network/ntp:openntpdOpenNTPD daemon Todd CarsonUSA
network/[smtp:qmail]qmail SMTP MTA Iouri GoussevCanada

I hadn’t heard of POPFile before, but a multiple bucket mail classifier might be the only way for me to keep up with opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org.

I’ve read each of the above manifests quickly, so I’m confident we’ll be sending out mugs to each author—yes, even to you, Joost. We’ll do a detailed read, send some suggestions (like my first thoughts on service names), and publish links at the contest end. Keep the manifests coming.

    There is a RFE for running the XPrint server via SMF, maybe a patch should be placed there: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1331

    Wouldn’t the application manifests be better left to sites like BlastWave, instead of incumbering OpenSolaris?

    @213.30.231.15: Indeed.

    @204.250.24.195: At this point, we’re acting as a connection between people looking for manifests and people willing to share them. In what way does OpenSolaris become encumbered by this action?
