I agree that Joerg Schilling should be entirely ignored; cdrecord is hopelessly broken writing DVDs and looking at the code, I am not surprised, it is designed to make you buy the his PRO-DVD product but fortunately Open Source healed itself, in the usual way.
Solaris is a hostage to the SUN QA group, which is FAR too powerful, so they argue "keep it out" so vanilla Solaris just sucks, but, within SUN there is an OS tool-chain group which builds useful tools and publishes a DVD and runs a download service, This stuff needs to be pushed into the mainstream. There is NO evidence that SUN management, increasingly PHB, even understands the issue.
If I need a Python or Ruby platform do I use sun or Linux on X-arc?
This and the failure to see that they must open source Java just indicate how clueless SUN senior leadership now is.
The real problem is insecure sys admins, throughout the industry, who resist what developers are trying to do, cos it isnt on the (Solaris) distribution CDs
Finally SUN should move from the pkg* abortion, written by idiots at AT&T, some 25 years ago to RPM.
