It can be delivered into DevPro *AND* the resulting packages can be co-bundled with the Solaris - the result being that there is only one definitive source for the packages (and their patches and updates...)
OR Deliver the same source into SFW and Devpro. The Devpro install should ONLY install and/or use its own copy on OS versions previous to OpenSolaris; on OS, it should use the SFW version... (Realize that the DevPro version will probably need to be compiled on Solaris8 instead of Nevada so the bits can run on older OS's...) -John On Mon, Jan 5, 2009 at 6:22 AM, Brian Utterback <brian.utterback at sun.com> wrote: > Another issue has come up.
