Right, but opensolaris.org is more than just ON, Solaris. Projects can set up any number of source code repositories which may contain code which is never intended to be integrated into an OS but still has value in the larger opensolaris community. > > > In our case we > > would like to have a single versioned script available for people to > > download and run on their systems for diagnostic purposes.

The project (Kerberos) is hosted on opensolaris.org. We have a useful tool for people who want to diagnose problems with their Kerberos configuration. We are not (currently) planning on distributing that tool with (Open)Solaris. We are using the opensolaris.org infrastructure to host that script and would like a way to version it automatically. -Mark
