True. It's not just "testing" that goes on, but evaluation of the test results and folding in last-minute fixes to the problems encountered, particularly those that are regressions from the last build. Personally, I like getting bits that have at least a modest amount of smoke testing applied, so the couple of weeks of built-in delay has never really bothered me much. I suppose it'd be possible to toss likely-broken bits out there faster, as soon as the first untested WOS is built, but I'm not sure who we'd be helping if we did that. It seems almost guaranteed to result in a flood of "help! I've installed the new build and my system is now a warm brick!" messages. -- 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]
