Starting with yesterday's nightly delivery, we will be delivery Mercurial (Hg) changeset bundles [1] in addition to the raw source tarball. You should be able to unpack these bundles and have a Mercurial repository of ON dating back to OpenSolaris Launch (2006/06/14).
To unpack the bundle: $ hg init hg-onnv $ cd hg-onnv $ hg unbundle -u <path_to_bundle.hg> Please note that the layout, structure, etc. of the Mercurial repository is subject to change, as these are being done in preparation for the eventual conversion of ON from Teamware/SCCS to Mercurial. So please don't expect or assume consistency :-) We will send out a flag-day notice for any major change along these lines so you have appropriate warning. Builds of ON within the Mercurial workspace should build cleanly, with the exception of checkpaths (which isn't run by the default opensolaris.sh environment file). If enabled, your nightly log file, in the section entitled 'Check lists of files', will contain a bunch of noise complaining about (obviously) missing SCCS objects. This can be worked around by disabling `checkpaths` from running, which you can do by setting CHECK_PATHS to something other than "y" in your nightly environment file. This is being tracked by CR 6432310.
