Solaris is not rebuild, so old formats are built, new pdftex stumbles.

Solaris is not rebuild.

Solaris is not rebuild.

That is the biggest problem I reported already on our tlbuild mailing
list. We either need to keep the version number of rebuild all pdftex
binaries.

I wait for Karl to decide.

See above.

See above.

So our solution does not work by now due to the version squeeze which we
need to fix.

We are working on it.
