It is not LTS, it's only 09.04 jaunty version. Why OpenSolaris 09.06, e.g. can't be updated in such a way (security fixes + minor application versions)? As I see on my test OpenSolaris 09.06 installation (updated recently with pkg iamge-update), it has firefox 3.1b3.... Why can't stable version of firefox be shipped with it? And such situation is with other security fixes and new apps. They come to /dev, but never backported to /release. P.S> I know about OpenSolaris Subscription, but it is strange to buy support for updates of free system, especially when I can install some other free system with regular security updates (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS or something else...). And why should I pay for consulting, if I need only to receive some software fixes regularly? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
