hm do you mean "top secret working group" @ oracle?
I'm fairly new to all that stuff..
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+zfs/30
here it says available in "Nevada, build 149", whereas here
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+zfs-crypto/
it says "Solaris 11 Express".
I know that Oracle basically renamed OpenSolaris to Solaris Express, but
how das "Nevada" fit into that picture?
Funnily enough there seems to be source for zfs-crypto:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/zfs-crypto/
I also read that Oracle continues to release Solaris (is that the right
term here?) source under the CDDL license, but only after the binary
release, so there should be source for versions higher than 28 sooner or
later?
Sorry for being offtopic, but all the info i find on the net just
increases my confusion... Probably someone could answer my questions
(via direct mail if it doesn't fit on the list..)
Thanks,
Lukas
