	CONTRACT ALLOWING/REQUIRING SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR INTERFACES

0.  Number: PSARC/2009/253-02

1.  This contract is between
	a SUPPLIER of INTERFACES and
	a CONSUMER of those INTERFACES,
    both of whom are entities within Sun Microsystems, Incorporated.

2.  The SUPPLIER (definer and/or implementor) is identified by the following:
    Product or Bundle: Solaris
    Consolidation: Install
    Department or Group: Install Sustaining
    Bugster Product/Category/SubCategory: Solaris/solaris_install/flash
    Responsible Manager: Jon Bowman

3.  The CONSUMER is identified by the following:
    Product or Bundle: Solaris
    Consolidation: ON
    Department or Group: Solaris 10 branded zone
    Bugster Product/Category/SubCategory: Solaris/brandz/s10_brand
    Responsible Manager: Sridhar Yedunuthula

4.  The INTERFACES are:

    The flar(1M) archive file format.  This is a mix of evolving and
    unstable according to PSARC 2000/037 and is described in the
    flash_archive(4) man page.

5.  The ARC controlling these INTERFACES is: PSARC

6.  The CASE describing (Exporting) these INTERFACES is: PSARC/2000/037 

7.  The following SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS are made which modify the rules
    imposed by the stability levels listed in section 4 above:
 
_N_ 7a. Although the stability level doesn't normally restrict it,
        SUPPLIER promises to only modify INTERFACES in an incompatible
	way as follows:
		[describe conditions, e.g. "minor release"]

_N_ 7b. Although the stability level doesn't normally allow it, CONSUMER will
        expose INTERFACES to a PARTNER, which is external to Sun, namely:
		Name of Company:
		Name of Department or Group within Company:
		Responsible Manager:

_Y_ 7c. Although the stability level doesn't normally allow it, CONSUMER will
        import INTERFACES from a separate consolidation.

_Y_ 7d. If SUPPLIER decides to change (including replace or remove) any
	portion of the INTERFACES, SUPPLIER will notify CONSUMER of the
	proposed new version, no later than the application for ARC
	approval of the new version.
	If SUPPLIER and CONSUMER are contained in the same consolidation,
	they have the option of arranging for simultaneous conversion
	to the new interfaces.  If this is not possible, or if they are
	not in the same consolidation, then SUPPLIER will either make best
	effort to work with CONSUMER so that CONSUMER can detect which
	version of INTERFACES is being supplied, or else SUPPLIER will
	make best effort to supply both old and new versions of
	INTERFACES.
	If SUPPLIER cannot make both versions of INTERFACES available,
	and SUPPLIER and CONSUMER cannot devise a method whereby
	CONSUMER can detect which version of INTERFACES is being
	supplied, and the old version of CONSUMER will not run with the
	new version of SUPPLIER, then either the EOL process must be
	followed by SUPPLIER, or else a major release of SUPPLIER will
	be required, or the change will not be allowed.

8. If CONSUMER requires changes in INTERFACES, SUPPLIER will make
   best effort to accommodate such changes, which shall then be
   treated in accordance with paragraph 7 above.

   N/A

9. Notwithstanding paragraphs 7 and 8, a change to any portion
   of the INTERFACES shall be regarded as a completely new set of
   INTERFACES which require both ARC approval and execution of
   a new contract.

10. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that evolution of INTERFACES shall be
    handled as follows:

    Supplier will attempt to avoid incompatible changes in the file
    format and notify the consumer if such changes will be made.

11. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that INTERFACES will be supported as
    follows:

    Through the normal bug fix mechanism.

12. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that INTERFACES will be documented as
    follows:

    None.

13. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that changes to the INTERFACES will be
    tested as follows:

    Through the normal flar testing mechanism.

14. SUPPLIER and CONSUMER agree that this contract can be terminated as
    follows:

     Through mutual agreement of both teams.

15. This contract is not valid until "signed" via agreement from the
    SUPPLIER and CONSUMER, and approved by the ARC CASE referenced by
    this contract.  E-mail agreement to the contract should be archived
    in the mail archive of CASE; verbal agreement to the contract
    should be noted in the meeting minutes.  This contract remains
    valid until superseded or invalidated.
