Hell, even the source code is no longer buildable if one tries to follow the broken documentation[1] on the OpenSolaris site. A web site which is also entirely controlled by internal folks owned by Oracle. I'm surprised you people are not walking around in jack boots by now.

As the responsible engineer who picked up that CR, made the changes and pushed them so three days ago, I take exception to your swipe. The "taken internal" aspect is that the correct place to file bugs against the documentation which is contained within the onnv-gate is bugster. The external interface to that is bugs.opensolaris.org - not defect.opensolaris.org. I cannot file an RTI for onnv-gate against a bug that's in defect.opensolaris.org and not bugs.opensolaris.org. You are on the interest list for that CR. The suggested fix was put into the public comments field so it shows up in the wild at http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6964464 Here is the changeset http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/rev/0a254b4b5ca4 and here are the diffs for the file which you logged the bug about: http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/diff/0a254b4b5ca4/usr/src/tools/opensolaris/README.opensolaris.tmpl As other contributors to this thread have mentioned, there are people outside Oracle/Sun who have managed to figure out how to build onnv-gate, and who do so regularly. Several people I'm aware of run multiple builds every day, on both sparc and x86, so if they can do it, I don't see why you can not. James C.
