In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana as a server., Jason...:
Thank you. Why you do it if If there is a desire and why not do it regularly?
Other contributors have their own answers to this question, but my answer is fairly straightforward. I have a limited (and worse, unpredictable) amount of time that I can spend on stuff related to OI. Additionally, I don't yet have the experience to tackle really complicated package updates, like the openssl update that Aurélien recently brought up. That often means that I must "budget" my time with OI. It also means that sometimes I pick tasks that are more interesting to me or I update packages that are the most useful to me. In the past, I've also sometimes tried to take easier package updates that are requested, so that the expert contributors can focus on the more complicated updates. In this particular case, I'm not using PHP on OI (at least, right now) and I also haven't seen anyone else ask recently about getting a recent version. That means that I'm not going to volunteer to update it regularly, because that may be effort that is of little value to anyone. If, however, there is a real interest or need for a recent version, then I would offer to investigate updating it, since I suspect that the update will be easy and it would allow others to focus on the more complicated tasks.
