Hi smartmontools, I am an engineer in Sun and we would like to port smartmontools to Solaris. Rather than using the legacy mode, we prefer SMF (Solaris Servier Management Facility), meaning that we will putback some new code to the project. It would be nice if I can have an account to access CVS. Thanks, - Simon |

Hi Simon, That's very nice to hear! We are just in the process of issuing a new release of smartmontools, so I will ask you to wait a few more days. Then your code can go into the next experimental release. Meanwhile, please send me a sourceforge username so I can add you. Could you please correspond with Keiji Sawada about this? He has contributed and maintained the Solaris port of smartmontools for a number of years, and I would like to be sure that he approves of these changes! But I expect that he will be enthusiastic about having some 'inside help'.

As you know, smartmontools can run smoothly on Solaris. So this porting contains only a small modification to take advantage of SMF, a uniform mechanism to manage service on Solaris.

Hi Simon, I'm very glad for your offer! Unfortunately I'm not familiar with SMF manifest, I could not play with it ;-) If I recognize correctly, SMF is sophisticated version of init scripts. So I imagine that some files will be added to smartmontools package (like a SPEC-file for RedHat). Anyway, I think there is no problem if modifications are compatible with other platforms (including earlier releases of Solaris). I'm looking forward to seeing your works! PS. I have been using sfw stuff for long years as Solaris user ;-) Regards, ksw / SAWADA Keiji <car...@us...> |
