Please sync with this list BEFORE you file such requests. The initial putback into OpenSolaris will likely be based on ksh93r+_alpha_20060724 which is explicitly labeled as "alpha" version. We'll then update throught all following alpha/beta versions and finally to ksh93r+_final with later putbacks - but I do not think it is wise to do this for BOTH OpenSolaris and Solaris 10. If any backport to an older Solaris version is planned it should only be done for the final version of ksh93r+, otherwise we may waste valueable engineering time to copy the code around, test it, create Solaris patches etc. etc. for each update. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
