Greetings


Looking at some actual package FMRI-s generated by the nightly build, I notice 
that
the build-generated FMRI-s  spill the actual build number into the vendor 
branch number
field.    Consequently  "Vendors" have no place left to put _their_  version 
tags. 

e.g.: 

pkg://opensolaris.org/library/[email protected],5.11-0.75:20071001T163427Z



E.g.:

@5.11   /* This  is the  component version,  as documented. */
,5.11     /* As per the man page, this is supposed to be the build number, why 
is the component version put here again?*/
-075      /* Supposed to be a branch version, providing vendor specific 
information.  In actual usage, it is the build number */
