You've got me. I've pointed out the seeming inconsistency before on other threads, but John Plocher seems to think that it's not a problem. Note that, at least for the minor release binding typically used in Solaris, it doesn't matter. All that other distributions need to do is pick a point in time, start a branch, and they're good to go. Everything that went in up to that point is already known to have a proper release binding, and it doesn't have to match when Sun pulled a branch. My guess is that we'll eventually need community-level decisions on when major releases are needed and will have to deal with the gate issues at that time. -- 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]
