This is known (>4.2), hence the first bootstrap bit with 4.2 (or 4.1). |

I haven't had a problem with 5.16 (yet). Could you file a bug for its |
25 |
failure? I'd like to see if we can just fix the issue. |

Stabilisation would require a major investment, and at this point in |
31 |
time, we're (basically me alone) understaffed. If you need a stable |
32 |
tree, you better not sync directly, but maintain your own tree where you |
33 |
can update packages as you know they work. |
34 |
|
35 |
But you can certainly help with maintaining the solaris keywords if you |
36 |
like! Testing, patching, etc. is al very valuable! |

Best and thanks again, |
