If we're looking forward to release 2010.$who_knows ourselves in its current state, I think it's better to use the actual source code from where it's going to be built by Oracle. AFAIK, the next release was branched from b134 but it includes backports from the other development builds that superseded it. It's probably called b134a, b134b or something like that, right ? The genunix website doesn't show any additional tags for b134* ( http://hg.genunix.org/onnv-gate.hg/tags). That repository is a mirror from the actual internal repository where the developers commit their work. $ hg clone ssh://a...@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/onnv/onnv-gate onnv-b134 requesting all changes adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 12161 changesets with 142449 changes to 58360 files updating to branch default 42546 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved $ hg update -r onnv_134 7388 files updated, 0 files merged, 1270 files removed, 0 files unresolved $ hg update -r onnv_134a abort: unknown revision 'onnv_134a'! $ hg update -r onnv_134b abort: unknown revision 'onnv_134b'! $ hg update -r onnv_134c abort: unknown revision 'onnv_134c'! Does anyone know how to get the source code that is going to be the next release ? As some Oracle employees have already pointed out, that distribution is *their* product. If that's the true spirit of things, it would make sense why commits are not public and they probably see integrating the b134{a,b,c} code into the public repository as a contribution to the OpenSolaris project. Not exactly how things work in other (successful) open source projects. -- Giovanni
