Good point. However, in the message you were previously citing, where I listed these things that should be tested, I went out of my way to explain that *if* this were *my* project, then those are the things *I* would want to test. And I also explained that testing requirements are a project team responsibility. Thus, there's no formal requirement here as such, and C-teams and ARCs don't come into it at all. > b) do we have some clear documentation how to do it? For bfu/LU we have > it available. That's why I suggested asking the team. The minimum I would try would be installing OpenSolaris, copying over the binaries, and then doing a pkg image-update and making sure that flies. > For these reasons I will welcome help from OpenSolaris distro team (the > same for all other distros) - if they are afraid of such thing, we can > give them all data they will request.

The general rule for testing is that you're done when you can no longer think of useful ways to test it, not when you run out of money to do it. http://opensolaris.org/os/community/on/dev_solaris/ But, again, it's your responsibility, so you make the call. > > I don't think that's true.

Plus or minus any differences that may exist between OpenSolaris and SX:CE, such as the existing class action and packaging bits that need to be run "some other way" on OpenSolaris. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
