I don't think that matches up with historical behavior here. Any time I've made changes in 'nightly', the answer has always been: new nightly must always work with old source, period. Not "send a flag day note," but must be made to work. (And, really, I think there should be no reason that this cannot be done. Even if you completely restructure the world with your changes, you can use an existence test on some key $SRC/blah file to detect whether you're in the new or old environment, and do the right thing.) -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carls...@workingcode.com> _______________________________________________ tools-discuss mailing list tools-discuss@opensolaris.org
