[osol-announce] SXCE end-of-life plans

Sun is announcing the intent to discontinue production of the Solaris
Express
Community Edition (SXCE) by the end of October time-frame. As we
intend to
continue on a bi-weekly build schedule, consolidations will move towards
producing native Image Packaging System (IPS) packages alongside SVR4
packages and then phase out the latter completely. Technologies such as
IPS, Automated Install, Snap Upgrade and the Distribution Constructor
will be
integrating into a consolidation after following through the established
processes including architectural (ARC) review.
We recognize that this transition will require some effort for all
members of
the OpenSolaris development community, and are committed to working with
all of you in making that transition a success. You can expect updated
information from us and the communities which manage the consolidations
as we further plan the transition schedules.
Questions can be directed to David Comay, Glynn Foster, William
Franklin,
Stephen Hahn, Dave Miner, Vincent Murphy, or Dan Roberts.
