Howdy,

Our team has an update that we'd like to do for a few system libraries (e.g. SUNWlibms, SUNWsprot) for OpenSolaris 2008.11. What's the best way to make these available?

If we update the package in the repository, how will 2008.11 users be able to get these specific updates? I tried doing this myself (pointing at what I believe are newer versions in /dev), but I am unsure of the user process. (see below)

I'm sure I'm missing something fundamental here. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
