you might get more enjoyment from poking yourself in the eye with
a sharp stick :-}
Last I looked, Solaris was System V.4-based, while Darwin is
FreeBSD+Mach based. It's all just software of course, but it
seems like a lot of work for little reward. Why are you thinking
about this? What, in particular, would get "merged"? Do you mean
something like shuffling two decks of cards together, or making a
marble cake?
Justin, while this is only at best marginally related to what I
think the OP was saying, I can think of a number of reasons to want
to glue Slowlaris and Darwin together:
* launchd or asl on Solaris
This doesn't involve kernels, AFAICT.
* Solaris TCP/IP for Darwin
Gak! Not Open Transport again?
The rest seems like more non-kernel issues. In any case, the code's
there for those that want to work on it, but, as you say, there
doesn't seem to be anything compelling here.
Regards,
Justin
