Sorry, but it will be 3rd party on Solaris 10 systems. This project is an OpenSolaris project; not a Sun project. That makes it third party. > Also, stop quoting ARC cses. You don't have access to most of them. I can only rely on information publicly available to me.

Yes, software delivered by *SUN*. Not some random software project on a community website. > You seem to be deliberately ignoring these precedents, for the sole > purpose of continuing this pointless discussion. I am not ignoring the precedents. You are claiming this project is not third party. I have repeatedly stated the third party item. If this project is third party (which I believe it to be) than third party guidelines apply and I am not ignoring precedents. If *Sun* is the one that is going to deliver all of this software, than bloody fine, it can go to /usr and I know well enough from ARC cases that Sun is doing that for software *SUN* distributes. > Surely you must have something better to do with your time ?
