Hi Brian,

I understand what you're saying regarding the SUNWgnutls
responsibility movement. However, the problem is we didn't bump up
SUNWgnutls but gnome-gtkhtml (SUNWgnome-libs component) which goes bad
on a missing item that should be shipped by SUNWgnutls (damien is
doing some tests I read when I was at the airport, we might have
missed a configure flag).

Nevertheless, just for my understanding. Does this mean that any
package upgrade of any JDS component that depends on a newer version
of $software-with-encryption is blocked until
$software-with-encryption is reviewed? I'd like to know this for
future reference where I might get even more involved with the trunk
build ;)

Enjoy your weekends all!
