OpenSolaris is based on build numbers so the differences are based on the
different build numbers, from uname -a or /etc/release.
Solaris uname -a provides the kernel number in the uname -v output that is
installed on top of the base Solaris version installed. The release of Solaris
installed is contained in the /etc/release file.
For example /etc/release from a Solaris system:
Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Official Media Name
Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
^^^^Solaris 10 SPARC (x would stand for X86)
Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
^^^^^ Update 4
Solaris 10 8/07 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC
^^^Build 12b of update 4 branch/tree
OpenSolaris /etc/release is Straight forward:
OpenSolaris Development snv_130 X86
Build 130 and uname -v is snv_130. And since there are no patches in
OpenSolaris, /etc/release and uname -v will probably always be the build
number. Not sure what that will look like with support repositories, etc.
Hope that helps...
