Garrett, James, & Darren,
As PSARC members who have commented on this case, do any of you
have any objection to changing the status of this case back to closed
approved automatic with the following changes to the original case
proposal:
1. -H option option-arguments ascii_sparse and odc_sparse will be
changed from committed to contracted project private interfaces
2. These option-arguments will not be documented on any man page
3. A contract will be created between this project team and the live
upgrade project team to use these option-arguments.
There is time pressure to implement this in the next Solaris 10
update.
Thanks,
Don
