To the best of my knowledge, Sun has never provided support for sxce. They have provided support for sxde, but that is winding down. http://developers.sun.com/sxde/support.jsp With the release of OpenSolaris 2008.05 we are pleased to announce the availability of OpenSolaris Subscriptions support as well as Sun Developer Expert Assistance for OpenSolaris. This marks the end of the SXDE program. To provide a smooth transition to OpenSolaris support, Sun Developer Expert Assistance for SXDE 1/08 will remain available through July of 2008. Thank you for your support and participation. We look forward to seeing you at opensolaris.com. If you've been following the various lists related to OpenSolaris 2008.05, you will likely understand that the plans and mechanisms around its support are not yet fully baked. Currently, the only installation mechanism requires a live CD and GUI console. This doesn't fit very well with my idea of what I want to run in production in a data center. That, combined with a relatively short supported life (18 months) it doesn't fit the bill for many data centers. I'm thinking that by the time that it is possible to have a private repository (e.g. mirror of pkg.sun.com) and the current batch of really fresh code from the Installation and Packaging community gets burned in a bit, the 18 month cycle will not be such a big deal in many cases. It's shaping up that upgrading to the latest bits should be easier and safer than patching is today. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
