Solaris versioning

Please correct me if I am wrong... Isnt the only difference between minor releases of Solaris, ex. 9/04 and 9/05, is the patche revs between them? If so, why does the /etc/release info stay static when patched?

no, it's not only the patch-release... with the new updates, you also get new features, which doesn't come with patches.... see the "what's new" notes from update to update on docs.sun.com

Ok thanks Pressy. I thought it was a bit naive to think it was just patches.

In terms of "new features" in the past it has often been the case that new features has been support for new hardware, however for Solaris 10 it has been, and will continue to be about new functionality and features of the software in addition to support for new hardware.

binary versioning

Dear Members, Do you know any information about versioning a binary file. That means test.out 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0, and so on. Can I manually edit version number (both major and minor) and revision number myself (how?) or any utility to set version number (which one?). Best Regards, Francesco (2 Replies)
