For example, keywords will likely be limited to a pre-defined list by Sun. incorporated_changes is likely to refer to Sun's bug-tracking system, etc. At least, that's my understanding... -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
