Although I appreciate everyone's enthusiam, I must make clear that the *only* intermediate compatibility guarantee is that one can, via some documented procedure, upgrade from one distro release to the next (DP1 -> DP2, DP2 -> 2008.05, etc.). Outside of that constraint, I reserve the right to break interfaces arbitrarily (in the hopes of making them better). An investment in a full-fledged alternate client implementation, or an application on top of such an implementation, may prove costly. - Stephen _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list pkg-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
