Roger, Houston, the pNFS eagle has landed
Our second distribution of the pNFS binaries (with source this time) were posted to OpenSolaris.org this morning. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work by the team. I'd like to congratulate everyone on that team.
It's never easy to let the bits leave the nest when we know they aren't perfect. Still, it was time to let them fly free. By releasing these bits early, the NFS team shows they are strong with the ways of OpenSolaris, and I'm proud of that.
I know many people both inside & outside of Sun are skeptical about the whole OpenSolaris thing for a variety of reasons. It takes patience to build a community. Hopefully, our actions help. I think the NFS team has demonstrated a great deal of moxy by releasing not just bits, but the source code for a project well in advance of it's integration into the "golden" source base.
