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 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] https://opensolaris.org:444/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
