It does seem puzzling. The reason is that: - SXDE (and in particular the "developer install" feature) was supposed to be aimed at developers who are writing software to run _on_ Solaris, and not those who are just compiling OpenSolaris itself. The former can make good use of having the freshest possible set of tools. - The two groups (ON and compiler) are separate. - Each consolidation actually picks a Common Build Environment (CBE) independently -- ON isn't the only consolidation. The synchronization for a switch is somewhat involved. I agree that it's annoying. It's even arguably "broken" in some contexts (particularly so for OpenSolaris). I hope it's just temporary and a side-effect of showing incremental progress rather than distinct releases. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
