Build 51 closed on October 16th. We're on build 54 now -- open until November 27th.

That's not strictly true. There's no reason at all that /usr/bin/ksh couldn't deliver from some other consolidation, either now or in the future. In fact, I think it'd be really nice if it did, because we could delete a bunch of bloat from ON. Don't confuse either delivery location (/usr/bin) or stability or some notion of "goodness" with consolidation. Things that go in a consolidation are things that share build rules, extensive private interfaces, and patch construction. If it doesn't look like that, then it doesn't need to be the same consolidation. Of course, following the same rules (regardless of where you go) might be a helpful bit of discipline. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
