RedHat has shared their source rpms for a very long time now. Whatever was required to rebuild a package and get an equivalent binary for RedHat systems, whether updated or what originally shipped has been available for as long as I can remember. In my opinion, they've always been the most open with their distribution sources, and is one of the reasons why there are so many packages out there available for their distribtuions as well as distributions that have been created based off their work. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
