Hi all,
One question here. In the release notes on the repo update

It appears that I have the latest SUNWipkg in my build 90 install. It
also seems like this is normal. I'm not sure I understand why this
paragraph above is telling me that I "may" wish to update it. "may"
sounds optional. What do I gain out of trying to update the SUNWipkg
pkg? Will this do anything?
Under what situation would I not have pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.90 if
I'd already update to build 90?
I was all set to blindly follow the instructions, but thought I should
read the mail thread first and Chris Ridd's posting (on indiana-discuss)
has given me more reason to pause.
My system is reporting:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pfexec pkg list SUNWipkg
