Roland,
Known issue. Solaris has the strict rule that we're not allowed to ship any *.so files if the API is not public, therefore we do not ship the *.so files. However some people may be interested to play around with the API (e.g. to build ksh93 plugins (builtin commands, functions etc.)) ... the *.so links can easily be restored by hand but the lint files cannot be "restored" if we don't ship it. That's why we're ending up with a weired chimera shipped with three legs where leg No. 4 can be substituted with a wooden one on demand (erm... Ok... this metapher isn't a good one... ;-( ).
I'm confused. If these APIs are not public, then people should not be playing around with using the APIs except in the context by which they're ARCed. If they're Project Private, then only the ksh93 project inside the ON consolidation may use them. It does not sense to ship the lint libraries for this private APIs at this time. However when these libraries are upgraded, then shipping the lint library along with the ".so" file makes sense. dsc _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
