Steve -

Is lib/libresolv.so.2 in the binary tarball libresolv2?

"libresolv2" - the source in usr/src/lib/libresolv2 - is part of BIND
which is third-party open source.  It was initially held because of the
crypto chicken/egg problem.  It should be moved in an upcoming build.

There are no plans to open source libc_i18n.  I'll add that to the list
on opensolaris.org so it's clear.  The code in libc_i18n is related to
the localedef code for which there are also no plans to open source.

FYI for everyone:

There are three sections on the opensolaris.org/os/about/no_source list:

- Components we plan to release as source in the future (I'll add
libresolv2 to this list): these weren't there at launch for various
reasons - hadn't gotten to them, had a dependency on something else,
crypto chicken/egg problem, etc.

- Components for which there are currently no plans to release as
source: all I can say is that we're open sourcing everything we can; so
if something is on this list, it's not something we can.

- Components for which plans are not currently set: these will move to
one of the other two lists - things are usually here because of
dependencies or because we ran out of time before launch and usually
move to "coming soon."

Hope that helps.

Bonnie
