I think the reason why we have been using build 134 that long is because the next stable release of opensolaris will be from build 134 and oracle wants to get it right before it's availabe for download, it appers they are alredy working on respins of build 134 in the form of build 134a and 134b. 134b may be used for the next realease. I don't have a link to the site but I remember reading a while back that solaris 11 was going to be based from opensolaris snv_134. I have seem this type of postponements before e.g. freebsd 5, i think it was in development for three years before it was released, etc "Builds 134a & 134b are respins of build 134 to fix stopper bugs for the OpenSolaris 2010.03 release. In the main Nevada branch, these fixes integrated in later builds." http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+x_win/changelogs-nv_130 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
