[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS r151016 is now out!

[Gary Gendel]

Bob,

So far I've been happy with pkgsrc binaries created by Joyent.  I've 
only had one issue with the qmail package and had to build it myself, 
other than that I haven't had an issue.  I've also discovered a bug in 
checkpasswd-pam where they missed a Solaris vs Linux/BSD pam difference 
and reported it.
