Re: [cobalt-developers] Bits flying over fences ...

    I thought I would let things settle down a little
    before answering the questions that had appeared.

    First, the known missing bits:
	There are RPMs that are not included because we
	didn't develop them.  These are available in the
	normal download locations mentioned in the README.

	This is slightly inconvenient for consumers of
	the open source tarball, but doing things this
	way enabled us to avoid several legal hurdles in
	Sun's open source process.  I won't get into the
	details, but given resources this was definitely
	optimal.

    Any unknown missing bits

	There have been a couple of questions about some
	Sun Cobalt RPMs that appear to be missing.  If
	these are in fact necessary and missing, it means
	that I know who will buy the next round of beer.

	I've forwarded the questions to the beer buyer
	to be, and we will figure it out.  If any other
	items seem to be missing, I'll see any notes to
	the developer list.

    RaQ versions
	The core code for the Cobalt products is shared,
	so many RaQ parts are merely build flags away.  
	Unfortunately, the RaQ specific functionality was
	not part of this open source effort, so some of
	the RaQ interface is missing.

	We will consider options with the RaQ interfaces.

    I hope this helps,
