Traditionally, updating open source that's bundled with Solaris requires either a fast-track or closed-approved-automatic case. The purpose is to notify other groups and flush out anyone who might be depending on the code. Things *might* be more complicated if significant changes are involved, but usually going from version 1.N to 1.N+1 isn't a big deal. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
