Wow, that sure is going to be confusing. Unfortunately that is remnant from the days when all manpages were incorrectly grouped outside the actual package. I was looking through history of SUNWsfman but there doesn't seem to be a bug category for it, just handled per component. MySQL4 (where this comes from) should go away soon so that should take care of it. I added a note to the MySQL4 removal CR (6631906). > >>It also says "Source for mysql is available on http://opensolaris.org", > > > >That's standard verbiage appended to every (or so) OpenSolaris manpage. > > Ugh.

That said it is also correct, in that the actual bits running on OpenSolaris were built from sources on opensolaris.org. So anyone interested in looking at the exact source which produced they're running is best served by looking at the source on opensolaris.org and not the upstream one. Of course in practice these should often be identical, but not necessarily in every case. -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
