I had read that on a recent thread on alt.solaris.x86, but obviously 
this was about the "old" OpenSolaris and not the new one. As Andrew 
Gabriel wrote in comp.unix.solaris:

   OpenSolaris is, rather confusingly now, two things.
   There's the OpenSolaris source base, which is used to
   produce various OpenSolaris distributions.
   There's Sun's distribution created as part of the
   Indiana project, which is now also called OpenSolaris.

As if the whole Nevada/Indiana/SXDE/SXCE thing wasn't already 
complicated enough.

So I second your request - I'd be interested about patching in the new 
OpenSolaris 2008.05 release now, too. I haven't heard anything about 
patch formats, tools, etc.

Martin.
