The only significant difference that I see between the first case and the second case is that in the first case, the various component snapshots have been formally tagged. In both cases, the distro is starting with a snapshot and then tweaking it to match the distro's requirements. Or are you saying that unless the various components go through an explicit freeze/stabilize/release process, there is no way for a distro to put together something that is stable enough to be useful? mike _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
