Just fyi:
consolidation/sfw is only accidentally appropriate here. It's
really for bugs against the consolidation itself (like 'all
packages in sfw are busted because of ...' or 'need to update
the build Makefiles for...'). Things that deliver from sfw don't
live in sfw-specific categories, they live in (what should be)
sensible and natural categories - utility/gnu_compiler,
library/libtcl and so on. Having the cat/subcat for something
be under (or include) the consolidation it lives would make
it harder to file a bug than it already is (since just looking at
Solaris you have no idea which consolidation anything comes from)
and be a pain when things move between consolidations as they
sometimes do.
But yes, consolidation/sfw has been a dumping ground for bugs
and it shouldn't be - we're trying to fix that. It's also
been used as a placeholder for things like this that don't
have their real cat/subcat yet (like I'd expect expect to
get before or soon after integration).
btw you're not going to make build 75 - that closes monday
and there's no way the arc approval will happen by then, let
alone the legal approval which needs to be filed. I see a whole bunch
of cases for it but there isn't one for including it in Solaris,
sigh. Which version are you integrating anyway - the ccd one
(5.39) or the latest (5.43)?
