But it's not a good reason to make dev builds inaccessible to broad community at all for a prolonged period of time. If upgrading mess is a concern, the ongoing dev can be swtiched to an alternative publicly available repo temporarily, so those who know what they are doing and aren't planning to switch to the release branch can use the most up to date build. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ ogb-discuss mailing list ogb-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ogb-discuss
