That is not the problem. The problem is, that Hudson can't build a
combined package for Solaris 8 x86 with 64 bit amd64 stuff in it.
We *may* work around this at some point in time but a discussion which
path to follow is welcome. Integration in one package as it is done
now is certainly a solution, but it is still only one possible solution
among others which I would like to have discussed. The result may
very well be that we keep it the way it is, but with Hudson and
GAR v2 some preliminaries have changed which may lead to another
direction.


Best regards
