The source offering is disorganized and spread over many
``consolidations'' which are pushed through ``gates'', similar to
Linux with its source tarballs and kernel patch-kits, but only tens of
consolidations instead of thousands of packages. The downside: the
overall source-to-binary system you get with Gentoo portage or Debian
dpkg or RedHat SRPM's to gather the consolidations and turn them into
an .iso, is Sun-proprietary. There was talk of an IPS ``distribution
builder'' but it seems to be a binary-only FLAR replacement for
replicating installed systems, not a proper open build system that
consumes sources and produces IPS ``images''. I don't know which
consolidation holds the iSCSI initiator sources, or how to find it.
Also for sharing your experiences you need to get the exact same
version of the sources as on other people's binary installs, so you
can compare with others while change onyl what you're trying to
change, ``snv_101 +my timeout change''. I'm not sure how to do
that---I see some bugs for example 6684570 refers to versions like
``onnv-gate:2008-04-04'' but how does that map to the snv_<nn>
version-markers, or is it a different branch entirely? On Linux or
BSD I'd use the package system to both find the source and get the
exact version of it I'm running.
There are only a few consolidations to dig through. maybe either the
ON consolidation or the Storage consolidation? Once you find it all
you have to do is solve the version question.
