[oi-dev] bits from JDS to userland: Re: conflicting files, dependencies and moving spec files to oi-userland

[Andrzej Szeszo]

Hi Milan

I knew similar question will be asked sooner or later.

If I had unlimited amount of spare time, I would convert all spec
files to userland style packages. It is not likely going to happen any
time soon, unfortunately.

So, to make better use of everyone's free time, I think we don't have
a choice and will have to integrate JDS packages to oi-userland
somehow. Perhaps in a similar way as illumos-gate component.

Milan, would you be able to share your JDS build script(s) in case
someone would like to have a go at creating JDS component?

Cheers,

Andrzej
