Yeah, and the KVM in illumos comes from a now obsolete Linux, and the pf in FreeBSD and Solaris comes from a now obsolete OpenBSD.
If anything, this should teach us not to port unportable things from different operating systems, because the maintenance cost is untenable.
- phessler 10y agoSolaris' port of PF is not out of date. _And_ they are working with upstream to merge their changes so both parties have a) better code, and b) less maintenance burden.
- shiftoutbox 10y agoAlso the pf port to FreeBSD is not out of data its just a Fork at this point. In so far as it has new features not in the original port.
- allanjude 10y agoiianm, Solaris has a port of IPF, not pf. Oracle is working on trying to port pf now.
- 4ad 10y agoThe pf has been ported and it shipped already in Solaris 11.3. It is based on OpenBSD 5.5 code.
