You seem to be of the opinion that there is some kind of benefit from compiling an application on "the latest release" or "the same release as you are running". This is simply not true. This is because of Sun's laudable commitment to stable APIs, and binary compatibility. The only exceptions to this, are if a) the package has some kind of direct kernel interface. This clearly would change between solaris releases b) the package wants to take advantage of some kind of library or interface that is only availlable on solaris 10. In the free software world, this almost never happens; free software usually takes advantage of other free software, not differences between solaris 8 and solaris 10. -- This messages posted from opensolaris.org
