Re: [osol-discuss] Update/patch policy?
Thank you for the answers guys. Not that I'm happy about their content. :-( My intent wasn't to use Solaris 11 Express in production. Or at least I wouldn't consider a home server as production. I wanted a chance to use Solaris 11 and re-familiarize myself with Solaris in general, and thought putting it on a new server I was building for my home could be a step in that direction. A major advantage of doing this at home is that I would have to deal with the draconian computer security apparatus at work and the paperwork and testing that is required to attach computer systems to our network. I gave up on Solaris back around 8 as it didn't provide the proper value proposition for my environment. All of the developers I supported were moving or had moved to Linux. Our only need for Solaris was to provide a build environment as we still supported legacy systems for customers of our software. OpenSolaris and the future Solaris 11 had me interested in Solaris as a server platform again. Even though Oracle had bought it, and quashed OpenSolaris, I still felt Solaris could prove itself able to provide features that would be compelling enough to move away from Linux for certain workloads.

The snv_XXX were biweekly development builds - each was available for
download at the time as a fully installable ISO or updated packages
from the pkg repository. Some of the per-build ISO's should still be
available from genunix.org.
The stable releases that came out once or twice a year were "respins"
of selected development builds with some critical fixes applied.
They were given the dated version names, and placed in the /release
package repository as well.
Those were:
OpenSolaris 2008.05 snv_86
OpenSolaris 2008.11 snv_101
OpenSolaris 2009.06 snv_111
The /release repo also contains snv_134b, which would have been the
OpenSolaris 2010.0x release, but it was never released as a separate
version.
snv_151a was just published today, but under the new name, license,
& release model of "Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11".

Yeah, good timing. The just-released Solaris 11 Express is snv_151a.
pkg.opensolaris.org/release was updated with 134b as an upgrade path

These are the build numbers of OpenSolaris and upcoming Solaris 11
Express (as well as older Solaris Express) releases, which follow the
build number of the core OS/Net component; "snv" is the Solaris Nevada
codename for ON development.
The latest released build from Oracle is 134 as "OpenSolaris
development build 134", while ON source is available up to 147 and
other distributions are based on the newer source.

Looks like the latest "Express" version is build 151
