Respins are best thought of as micro-builds; they're the base build plus cherry-picked fixes selected to fix specific issues. In other words, a branch from a numbered build. >> This means that the only way to get the older >> components is to specify >> them explicitly - full fmris, including timestamps. > > Can you post an example? Something like: pkg:/SUNWinstall at 0.5.11,5.11-0.111:20090331T083207Z The problem is that you would need to do so for every single package down the dependency tree, because the depend actions in each package only specify the build version and thus implicitly included packages would use the latest timestamped package in that version, meaning you'd get 111a versions of them. This is why just specifying the entire incorporation's timestamp didn't do the job. Dave
