I just saw that this bug was closed today as "will not fix". CR 4947102 Updated P3 solaris/solaris_install/install Provide public API to query major, minor, micro, & build number
That's too bad, I have to deal with many lab machines on a daily basis, and my number one question is: which solaris update is running on this machine. The mechanism for figuring this out depends on how you installed that machine, and have you've patched it. There's not one way to find out. Unfortunately, the bug is not available outside Sun. I'm not sure why, maybe the solaris_install category isn't exported? The description makes a very good case for why it's necessary. --chris This message posted from opensolaris.org
