Actually I have re-submitted pound and couple of other programs which are in /contrib some time ago - it wasn't just a re-submit as some changes to spec files were required to to juicer/build platform migration from SXCE to Open Solaris in a mean time. http://jucr.opensolaris.org/pending/info/0/pound%402.4.4%2C5.11-0.111%3A20090812T180854Z http://jucr.opensolaris.org/pending/info/0/mtr%400.75%2C5.11-0.111%3A20090805T223933Z http://jucr.opensolaris.org/pending/info/0/tin%401.8.3%2C5.11-0.111%3A20090804T161846Z The problem is that they have not been promoted to /contrib yet. It looks like recently it doesn't work as smoothly as it should - see for example RCS waiting to be promoted to /contrib for some time now - and there are others. http://jucr.opensolaris.org/pending/info/0/rcs%405.7%2C5.11-0.111%3A20090812T192902Z I think this is mostly due to problems with juicer and hopefully the process will become more smoothly again. -- Robert Milkowski http://milek.blogspot.com -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
