Why hasn't illumos set up a foundation yet?

my impression is that it's a fair amount of work that no one's had time to do, but I wouldn't take that as an authortative answer

Who supported the various expenditures of illumos over the years?

There are no channels for donations.

This is also the case with OpenIndiana

OmniOS perfects this aspect

Guest74: We've always had a mixture of community efforts, along with infrastructure generally donated by companies for which illumos is economically relevant

FWIW, if you'd like to donate today, donating to OmniOS also helps illumos

That could be made public, with reference to Linux or FreeBSD

I see that most open source projects have set up foundations

See also Rocky Linux

Wouldn't that be better?

So for the viona tx copy by default CR, I now just wait for people to re +1 the latest patch, once there are a few do a new build, run my tests again and mail the list with the maillog file ?

sjorge yes

oki, thanks for confirming

i'm almost sure the answer is 'no', but is there an easy way to basically strip all symbols except for certain values?

(the stripping is due to ramdisk size, but it'd be helpful to retain a couple of symbols)

Not without writing a custom program.

That I know of.

looking at strip from elftoolchain (as found in freebsd), it has -K/--keep-symbol=symbol

and looks like gstrip (from binutils) has the same option

hrmm.. maybe worth adding..
