Yeah, but actually I am ready for the FIRST putback (one of many being planned; note that the first putback is designed to introduce only /usr/bin/ksh93 and the required libraries - and won't affect other things) since the beginning of June... since then the whole process aims at abolute perfection which is impossible to archive in this case as it is work in progress. We already operate on an alpha version of ksh93r+ which will not change as the ksh93r+_final depends on feedback generated from the integration into OS/Net so the current attempts to make it "perfect" just stretches the process even further, over and over again. I've read over the whole flamewar tonight and now understand the frustration in the community - and feel myself more and more weary and tired... ;-( ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
