Hi Juergen,
        20060208 was the first delivery where I've started delivering
        nightly builds, rather than deliveries synced with the close of a
        Nevada build.

This change is going to make it very hard to deliver other projects.

For each BrandZ release, I sync the BrandZ gate up to the same Nevada build
as the current OpenSolaris release.  This lets us deliver just the usr/src
tree (*), which can be built against the officially released 'closed-bins'
package.

If the OpenSolaris release is going to be based on some non-archived
snapshot of the Nevada gate taken at some random point during the week,
then it's going to be very difficult for anybody to generate a usr/src that
corresponds to the closed-bins you distribute.

If you are planning to release a nightly build every day - or even every
week, could you please make sure that a snapshot corresponding to the
latest 'real' build is also available?

Hi Nils,
We do intend to still keep delivering builds synchronised with build-close dates. I just felt that we could increase the frequency of deliveries from every 2 weeks to every week.

cheers,
steve
