Gueven> Can you, please, elaborate on that, Jörg? The ON package definitions do not reflect the fact that some sources are closed. And the closed binaries tarball only contains binaries that are redistributable, which is a subset of all the closed binaries. So if you do an external build with -p, some of the packages will fail to build because there will be missing files. There is an open bug on the issue; I will add the CR number to the Known Issues page. (The "known issues" section of the README is mechanically generated from this page, though I'm not sure how often... weekly, I think.) As far as your original request to update the Developer's Reference, I agree that it would be nice, but I know I don't have time for it. If my description of the issue is sufficiently clear, perhaps you could work with the documentation community[1] to make the change? The DevRef source is available at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/files/. mike [1] http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/documentation/
