Subject: [OmniOS-discuss] Efforts to make core smaller.
Message-ID: <CACLsApuc3ORnPVCJ=K4RQSg4Km9d8xUUQRfv-Z0RyF7hH4Vkeg@mail.gmail.com>

Some of the efforts to remove unneeded dependencies from core didn't
actually happen before our initial release.

Over the next few weeks we might see packages drop out of the core
release that aren't really needed by the core itself.

Specifically, I'm working on culling the ghostscript related sprawl.

Good to read, Theo.
Where are the issues for the project or simply you and your team are 
working directly on IllumOS?
Regards

We try to keep our issues listed here:

they mix userland and gate right now, we'll start to clean that up going
forward:

If we have an issue with illumos-gate that isn't specific to our distro, we
open a ticket in the main illumos tracker.

Subject: [OmniOS-discuss] Updated release: r151002f
Message-ID: <CA+QY2RSg2q7KJQ0tsTLJcuO-U-VKsfTywmnTENMoxhibRJQ5tQ@mail.gmail.com>

An updated OmniOS release has been, well, released.
http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/ReleaseNotes#r151002f

This release includes a security fix for OpenSSL (1.0.1c) and removes
some core build dependencies, namely Ghostscript and CUPS. It also
includes the previously-announced Kayak network installer packages.

Users are encouraged to 'pkg update library/security/openssl' on their
systems and restart any applications that are using OpenSSL.

The OmniOS release schedule is rather informal, but we foresee it
generally following a six-month cycle with weekly interim releases
when changes warrant.  Six-month releases will increment the release
number (e.g. 151003) while interim releases are noted by letters a-z,
one per week.

OmniOS weekly release r151002h updates the BIND utilities to 9.9.1 and
adds pciutils, which provides the "lspci" command.

Has anyone tried to build an AMI from OmniOS?  I'd very much like a supported, open source variant of OpenSolaris/Illumos for AWS deployments of Riak (and other things).

Greg,
Not as yet, but we definitely want to see this happen and it's on the
to-do list.  It's a multi-step process that has been described to me
but which I can't recall exactly at the moment.  And thanks to Oracle,
all the old links to sun.com documentation are now broken.  :(

If you want to take a stab at it, we'd welcome the help!

Eric

I was talking to Theo about this last week at chefconf; i've got all
next week off and may well take a stab at making one then. The
instructions i've seen look long winded but definitely doable.

Subject: [OmniOS-discuss] booting under xen
Message-ID: <CAJbvbyFZZCbVw73xuTKOeW-YvUm0gV_KST6zfucgJdrGqzq14Q@mail.gmail.com>

Hey,
has anyone actually tried OmniOS under xen? trying to boot the
installer cd just results in instant crashes, whereas the openindiana
151a cd works fine.
It would be good to get an understanding of what the difference is
between the two builds - and if there are instructions on building an
omnios cd i can tinker more.
cheers,
-thom

Not sure about that.  I haven't looked at the 151a stuff at all, so
I'm not sure about the differences.  I know we deliver all the kernel
bits as a part of the core distribution though.  Perhaps we are
missing Xen-related stuff on the disk itself.

We use distro constructor... so on a working OmniOS box, you should be
able to install: pkg:/install/distribution-constructor

and I believe the xml description we used to build the install disk
gets installed with that.

Eric might know more.

Yep, look at the file /usr/share/distro_const/dc_text_x86.xml . Might
be useful to compare that to the version shipped with OI (who also use
DC to make their ISOs) to see if something Xen-related got left out.
