# more /etc/release OpenSolaris 2008.05 snv_86_rc3 X86 Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Use is subject to license terms. Assembled 26 April 2008 Couldn't find the showrev command on the system.

I indeed have a shell script version of showrev(1). I didn't realize we were shipping patchadd/patchrm with OpenSolaris, so I need to see if I can just ship showrev as an update to pkg:/SUNWswmt or something similar. Thank you, Clay
Created an attachment (id=289) [details] Shell script based showrev(1) Here's an experimental showrev(1) rewrite.
Okay, well it seems to work fine with OpenSolaris 2008.05; if you'd like to try it, I've attached it to this bug for now. I've also pinged David Comay to see if/when/where this will be included. Thank you, Clay
Sun Studio 12 installer DOA because it has dependencies on showrev. I tested the attached showrev.ksh with Sun Studio 12 installer on OpenSolaris (by copying it to /bin/showrev), and now Sun Studio installer works fine. Is it OK for us to provide this showrev.ksh in the Sun Down Load Center for our users?
Julie, what information does the installer require from showrev(1)? Please don't post the code as is until we decide how to proceed here.
SS12ML installer uses 'showrev -p' to obtain the revision information about patches.
