Actually we tested BFU for the last big putback lots of times... the part which we missed is to BFU and then BFU the resulting system _again_ (something which sounds locical after you know it... ;-/ ...

On my todo list is the item to contact each person who reported isues after the original ksh93-integration update1 putback (this includes one person from PIT) and let them test the binary tarballs at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/downloads/2009-04-20/ > so that we can avoid a > repeat of the last /usr/bin conversion project, which resulted in > several distinct failures in the formerly stable "/usr/bin/sleep." I know... I don't want to repeat that experience... but the issue was half "unforseen usage of commands" which can never be completely ruled-out and stupidity (from my side). However this time we get much greater testing coverage and I hope it'll work more smoothly than the last one (on the other side I can't rule-out that we dig new holes to jump-in or even discover a competely new species of hole... that's why both ARC cases have the option to defer parts to later putbacks if we run into trouble late during the putback process). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;)
