It's unclear to me what you're saying, but there's only one source tree. The same sources are used to build as appear on opensolaris.org. The source you see is the same source we see. (Minus the unfortunate but few closed binaries, of course -- some of which are even hard for us to see.) The distributions (such as Sun's Solaris, but also SchilliX and others) are free to figure out if they want to release binaries, mixed binary/source, or whatever they need to satisfy their markets, provided that they follow the licensing issues. Are you trying to suggest that there's something magically different about Solaris versus OpenSolaris? Or that we'd hack it before releasing it? If so, why? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[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-discuss mailing list [email protected]
