[OmniOS-discuss] Bug ?

[Aurélien Larcher]

I guess one should remind the little elves of the magical forest that
they need to take over the maintenance, they were quite busy with
Midsummer apparently.

Otherwise, basically Guenther's advice is the way to go:
- for illumos specific issues: https://www.illumos.org/issues,
- for software package bugs we could look at it in OpenIndiana and
someone could backport the fix to OmniOS afterwards (when
infrastructure is fixed).

I hoped that we could have a virtuous relationship with OpenIndiana
Hipster acting as a "bloody" and OmniOS continuing as a stable subset,
similarly to the current scheme (also benefiting from the current
Hipster CI setup to avoid losing momentum).
There is apparently no interest following the discussion which was
initiated right after the announcement, this is a bit disappointing.

I hope that people will join forces to consolidate the landscape of
community-supported illumos distros.
At some point one needs to stop talking theory and tragedy, there are
pragmatic solutions to implement: there are infrastructures in place
in both OI and OmniOS-land, there are overall directions and goals in
both (rolling dev vs stable), there is a solid release engineering
practice in OmniOS, it does not seem like we swim in complete
abstraction.
Contributing software packages can be easy, the difficulty seems to
get people to figure out that maintaining even one package is a
meaningful contribution.

(I maintain a bunch of packages for OpenIndiana and I do not work in IT)

Kind regards,
