I notice that the perl kstat source is listed in the "plans not set" section of the currently unreleased code list. Are there problems with the module itself, or is it just that it has dependencies? One of the reasons I ask is that I have written code based on having access to that source (it was present in earlier code drops, certainly during the pilot phase) and now wonder how careful I need to be? (I think I'm safe, in that I haven't done any hardware-specific code - well, no sparc code anyway as I've done the work on an opteron box - and I could go to other parts of the source tree to see how the kstats are created rather than cheating by cutting'n'pasting the answer from the perl code. But I would like to know where to go from here.) -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] https://opensolaris.org:444/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
