Martin, 

Many thanks for your hard work. I'm sure we're all happy to have you back.

Thank you, Alexander, Predrag and Apostolos, 

very relieved to hear that. 
Now finally I can find some sleep for the last nights. 
Ahh, let's forget the old hassle. I, too, need to apologize for my mistakes. 
In the past I never took enough time to write such long detailed 
ANNOUNCE files. I always was too impatient and finally wanted to hit 
[SEND] to get all the stuff out. But this didn't make it clear enough to 
those armchair "contributors" what it really meant to get it done. And 
then they complained that I dared to ask and the whole sage would start 
over and over again. It really burned in my fingers this time, because 
that way I needed to delay the publication by almost two days 

In addition to that my right eye is unsharp at close distances 
(compicated story) and I always had pain, was over-tired and this 
resulted - among other things - in many spelling errors (while at the 
same time i found it more interesting to get forward with the code, 
rather than re-reading time and again for spelling errors). 

Now, for months already, I simply cover my right eye during devel work 
with a black cap and with only the left eyes it is much sharper and 
results in 10 times as much concentration and ability to stay awake for 
much longer. 

Meanwhile I gave up all hopes to pay my bills. 
I have no future in this damn country here (NATO-Germany). 
Must further improve my Russian language skills and then - finally - can 
escape western imperialism and zombification! 
(oh, I should not mention such topics any longer, sorry, was the last time). 

Plus, another change: IPS is - with all its flaws - solving many 
limitations that SVR4-pkgadd (even with pkgutil.net) had. 
So - meanwhile I don't rule out anymore that SPARC OpenIndiana would be 
a great thing. 
But from 2012 I still remember all too well what a tricky beast IPS can 
be, especially when bootstrapping a modern 147++ repo on the basis of 
snv_134 (which used a much more incomplete n-times earlier 
implementation of IPS, unfortunately). So no promises for 
SPARC-OpenIndiana, but I'm glad to if we can get this started. 
openXsun, misc tricks to get the kernel booted or to get certain frame 
buffers into openXsun mode, - you and DilOS now really can have this stuff. 

Because with those few _true_ contributors who are still left over 
working on OI/Hipster I share many things and feel symphathy (unlike 
over at Illumos or here until about 1 to 2 years ago). 
One of the things that we share: However "popular" or not or whatever 
else some noise-makers find Solaris, to _us_ there is no better OS under 
this light. 


In this sense, 
tnx for your understanding and for accepting me into your 
core-contri-group :) 


Regards, 
%martin bochnig
