When I worked at Sun, part of my job was keeping track of this issue. Since I no longer see all of the bug reports filed against standards issues, utilities, libraries, the kernel, etc.; I can not be sure that other changes I haven's seen do not affect branding. I have commented on other cases about plans that appear to affect conformance. I have not noticed anything coming before PSARC modifying utilities covered by POSIX/SUS that should affect the CSQs or other branding materials. I'm following PSARC on my own dime, hopefully providing a useful service, but I make no claim that I am keeping Solaris clean for branding. If Oracle wants me to do that, they need to rehire me and put that in my job description. > > IIRC, the validation was done for Solaris 10 and not for ON. Correct. The validation includes some, but not all, of ON and includes bits and pieces from many other consolidations. - Don > > Jörg _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
