Re: OpenDarwin closing



Why is this disappointing?

DarwinPorts and Darwin will continue; as Rob noted, what exactly has OpenDarwin-proper done in the last few years? This is NOT an indictment of the OpenDarwin team or OD contributors, and may indeed be due to many factors, including Apple's open source support mechanisms, and so on, but what are we losing here, at present? What OpenDarwin actually was and what its promise was were two different things (again, not the fault of the participants).

And why should How Tos, etc., be lost?

In case you didn't notice yet, the OpenDarwin core team has decided to close operations:

I'm sure this is disappointing for many Mac OS X developers as well.


As Rob Brauns posting points out, the OpenDarwin server will continue to provide the existing contents there for some time in the future, but if you want to get into or continue development on one of OpenDarwin's projects, it's time to help the move to another location. Not sure what will happen to all the great HoTo's descriptions, etc., though.
