Pardon the top post but old Sun Convergence is hardly user friendly sometimes

Re : http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b138/

So then, six days later now. I have seen this : 

  http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/website-discuss/2010-April/006490.html

Which seems to indicate that the downloads for closed bits of snv_138 are held 
back due to a server not being in a rack ? Is that what I am to understand ? 
Strangely I can see snv_137 but not snv_138. Clearly this is not the same 
server unless it does quantum mechanical http tunnel through air connections 
from where ever it may be.

No problem, please feel free to publish those bits to the community run 
genunix.org server and then you won't have these pesky delays again due to some 
server not being in a rack.

If license is the issue then just grab any server that is currently still up 
and publishing files for download. After all, this is a "community" based 
project and I am sure that in a "community" we can get a simple web server up 
and running for people to get key components that are needed to build 
OpenSolaris(tm) based distros right ? 

Or, am I missing something ?

Alas, it's not entirely trivial.  The tag just indicates the cutoff for the 
build.  It doesn't reflect backouts or stopper fixes that happened after the 
cutoff. To recreate a biweekly build, start with the tag, then review the 
on-discuss archives for respin announcements[1], which list the additional 
changesets.
