Hello,

today I found out that Solaris 11 didn't have the POSIX
utilities installed by default unless you did a full desktop or
server install (or installed the xcu4/xcu6 relevevant packages
by hand)
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/360359/posix-awk-on-solaris-11

Solaris 11 being SUSv3 certified, I was trying to find out what
configuration(s) of Solaris 11 were actually certified and I'm
having a hard time browsing opengroup.org

I found the certificates:

https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3585.htm
https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3588.htm

It says: Oracle Solaris 11 FCS and later
is certified. That "and later" is a bit confusing. How could
*future* versions of the OS already be certified? I've also had
a hard time finding out what FCS standed for. Apparently it's
for "First Customer Shipment" which I understand is the initial
revision of Solaris 11 (not relevant to the "configuration" like
small-server, desktop, large-server...).

The link to the "Conformance Statements database"
(https://www.opengroup.org/csq/public/search.mhtml?t=CX1&sort=bycomponent)
appears to be broken (404).

I did eventually find it at
http://www.opengroup.org/csq/repository/RID=sun%252FCX1%252F7.html
though.

However, there's still no mention of what configuration of
Solaris is actually being certified. There are several references
to an "Appendix", but the link to it
(http://www.opengroup.org/csq/repository/appendix/oracle/c_and_u_appendix.html)
also appears to be broken (403, even after I log in)

Is the information available somewhere? Shouldn't the
certificate clarify more precisely what is being certified?

Thanks,
Stephane
