Jason, as bug 5284 is fixed for now, Target Discovery and Target Instantiation test drivers are now built during full build of slim_source gate and bundled with new SUNWinstall-test SVR4 package: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/caiman/slim_source/usr/src/pkgdefs/SUNWinstall-test/ As far as other test drivers are concerned (orchestrator, ICT, ...) they are currently work in progress (ETA not specified yet). Dave, should we deliver SUNWinstall-test into IPS repository ? If this is the case, I would file bug for this. Thank you, Jan
