Hi Jel,
I was thinking the caiman-discuss OpenSolaris list should be open
for hopefully eternity and to thus use it for the authoritative reference
for my list of Flag Days. Do you have an idea on how to ensure that the
list gets published otherwise, with a higher level of openness?
Certainly, I agree with Jon's comment of the Flag Day regular
expression being overly simplified here. It may be a pain, needing to cast
a bit of an overly wide net, will will require occasional tending but
that's why Sun pays me to monitor our Caiman build process at this time.
As to the PSARC cases, however, thank you for pointing out the
missing PSARC cases. Unfortunately, install-discuss doesn't deal with the
PSARC cases, that should be brought up to arc-discuss at opensolaris.org
perhaps?
Please let us Sun internal folks know when we've assumed something
to be outside which is not - I know my team is very open development
oriented and intends not to alienate or exclude the broader world.
Thank you,
Clay
