Project Indiana, Sun Microsystems’ Linux-like OpenSolaris effort, will begin shipping to developers before the end of October, the company announced Oct. 15 at its open-source summit press event here.
The developer release will include Image Packaging System, a new package manager slated for inclusion in the next version of Solaris, but won’t be back-ported to Solaris 10, the most recent version to ship, said Ian Murdock, Sun’s chief operating systems platform strategist, in an address to the media.
All of the technology developed under Project Indiana will be delivered through OpenSolaris going forward, he said.
