The package sources are being actively worked on - the roadmap says they'll be there this quarter, and we do believe that will be the case. so then .. maybe this quarter .. maybe not. Okay .

So far, all I've gotten accomplished is reading the email that says steve - can you start the cleanup of the pkg* tools, so I've no idea how long it'll take me. ;-) I'll post regular updates to my blog though if you want to monitor my progress. cheers, steve -- stephen lau // [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 650.786.0845 | http://whacked.net opensolaris // solaris kernel development ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
