Not really sure who might know, didn't really expect folks here to chime in. >> Nightly: I opted for no warning when PARENT_TOOLS_ROOT is not set. Let >> me know if you think it should not be silent.

If that's all, I have no strong preference, so am > fine with what you have. The risk is that tools proto doesn't get copied to parent workspace, which is the pre-6878498 state of nightly.sh. Nobody seemed to notice or care, for years, that -U didn't include tools. Yes, if you use -U and then attempt to package in the parent, that won't work, but I don't think that's an actual, valid use case. Translation: it didn't work before, and it still won't. --Mark _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
