Having Mercurial and/or GIT locally (possibly with on
Openindiana servers has strong benefits to just using
Github because at the end all sources and final results
must be distributed with the releases and it makes sense
for easy mirroring and distribution.<br>
If it is put on GitHib it again has to be moved to OI
servers to there is no much merit to keeping it on Github.<br>

<div>On the contrary since oi-userland, pkg and slim_source
reside on Github, I do not see the point in reinventing
the wheel or incur additional maintenance.<br>

Hipster actually has very little documentation and
comments on changes and following mailing list talks on
changes (if any) is painful.<br>

<div>I beg to disagree: Hipster has the some documentation
and comments, what it lacks is mostly formalism and
visibility.<br>
</div>
<div class="h5">I must say that I do not like the tone of
this type of (repeated) comment because at the end of the
day OpenIndiana is what people do with/for it: if there is
something missing/broken, you just fix it and if you
cannot, well no need to blame.<br>
</div>
<div class="h5">Contrary to GNU/Linux distributions, I do
not several giant companies pouring millions of $ of
development in OI every year so I accept the fact that it
is really community supported.<br>
</div>
<div class="h5"><br>
</div>
<div class="h5">I am happy with Hipster and most of the
issues are due to a lack of support of third party
applications/drivers which is out of the scope of plain
distribution integration and maintenance.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="h5">Instead of talking about "two development
branches" let us consider /dev dead for good, move
forward, provide an upgrade path and emphasize on the fact
that Hipster does get security fixes while /dev does not
get any.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="h5">So if you want something to happen in the
future, help Hipster finish the migration of components to
oi-userland and help documenting.<br>
</div>
<div class="h5">If you cannot run it on your machine, run it
in Virtualbox for development and testing.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="h5">Until that milestone is reached, speculation
seems vain and repeated criticism without constructive
behaviour can be considered harmful.<br>
