Danek and Alan,
Thanks for clearing that up for a lot of people. I can see an issue when people
update to OSOL 2010.03 that they will start using the IPS release tree in
thinking
the b.134 branch is the same thing.
Is there goingot be a release note and something on the
pkg.opensolaris.org/release webpage to warn them of the issues mentioned?!?
Some users may have a 'rude awakening' in the upcoming weeks in thinking what
they are getting is OSOL 2010.03 once they see b134-135 hit the streets.
