Anyway, the executables and libraries which need to remain stable during the entire duration of the patching application and would be affected by the patch operation are copied into a temporary location, lofs is used to mount them up into the original location, and then we can patch the originals without adversely affecting the binaries in use. You must reboot at the end of such a patch application to get the system back into a consistent state. Live Upgrade for patching is still recommended, since it's at least as safe and doesn't require quiescing the system to apply such patches, but this provides an alternative when that is not an option.

Re: [osol-discuss] Re: [advocacy-discuss] Re: Logo/Mascot for OpenSolaris
Does a community group have the power to decide that a monetary prize is awarded to whoever comes up with the winner? If they come up with the money, yes. If they don't come up with the money, of course not. OpenSolaris has no finances and therefor no budget. And further to that, does the community group have the power to award that kind of prize in OpenSolaris's name? Is there such a thing? Or to put it differently, if such a decision was made by the community and activity understaken that this would happen, who would sign the cheque for the prize winner on behalf of OpenSolaris? Someone from the OGB or someone else? OpenSolaris has no cash, so it would be someone from Sun if Sun sponsored it or else whoever collected the money. From the very start of this, my position has been that getting this to properly motivate people requires a competition with a prize at the end and that for this reason it requires more thought than the community just doing it. And yes, I feel that some kind of prize or reward is essential, otherwise we don't stand a very good chance of getting the right result unless we fluke it and someone already is or someone knows someone who'll do it for free. It in this case being a professionally designed logo or cartoon'd mascot. Well, come up with a plan on how to finance that first.

Libtool does not properly manage the library search PATH, it works only correctly if all libs are located in /usr/lib or if there is a ld.so config setup that creates global librerary search extensions. In many cases libtool can be made to work by defining LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_RUN_PATH before falling configure and make. But build systems that are based on libtool are still not user friendly as they do not do what they promise: automated compilation.

I should clarify, my wording was poor... the OGB should only approve if it is pursued as an appeals path. If there is overwhelming approval for whatever the CG arrives (reflected by a vote, or some other mechanism), then I don't think the OGB needs to certify or vote on anything.

Is making OpenSolaris a non profit organisation on the agenda of the OGB? Or do I need to create some other community to do that? No. Making OpenSolaris a non-profit organization is a daunting task; it also comes with a financial burden and liability for the OGB members (and I would not care to be on the OGB were that the case) Casper ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] Deferred Patching Scheme
Dave; Every executable or library already loaded into memory has a backing store attached to them, anonymous or otherwise. Executables in memory have a backing store which naturally points back to the original binary executable (or library) file on disk (file system), referenced in memory by the vnode, then translated to the actual inode. If you mount in place a similar file image on top of the original, would not the in memory file reference (e.g. vnode/inode) be different? It's on a different file system after all. Forgive me, but I fail to see how a mount in place can help protect the original, much less increase the stability of the system. I readily concede that the newly developed system properly works, since it has now been tested and released by Sun. But I was hoping if Sun or the folks here could provide a more detailed explanation. Also, does the procedure require the administrator to undertake any special steps? Or would it be completely transparent to the admin?

There are two models for non-global zones, termed sparse root and whole root. In the sparse root model -- the default for zonecfg's create -- the zone's configuration includes /lib, /platform, /sbin, and /usr as inherit-pkg-dir entries. This means that these four directories are mounted as read-only copies (lofs) of the global zone. As documented in the zonecfg(1M) man page: inherit-pkg-dir Directory inherited from the global zone. Software pack- ages whose contents have been transferred into that directory are inherited in read-only mode by the non- global zone and the non-global zone's packaging database is updated to reflect those packages. Such resources are not modifiable or removable once a zone has been installed with zoneadm. In the whole root model -- create -b -- you get your own local, writable file systems in the non-global zone, but at the expense of copying everything over. It's much slower to create and manage zones like that. An alternative is to make /usr/local writable inside the zone by adding an explicit lofs mount of read-write storage.

Hi Udayan, This is to follow up with the storage-discuss community about your question. The problem you encountered was a full file system. The OS/Net README has no indication of the disk size requirements needed to download and build. http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/README.opensolaris I've added opensolaris-discuss to this thread to see if the README can be updated. thanks Charles Udayan Singh wrote: Hi Charles/All, During the extraction process of the software package named on-src-b65.tar.bz2 on the open solaris (snv-65) the system rebooted automatically in the middle of the process .Now the problem is that the restarter(SMF-8000-5H) is not running .

All the package dependencies were met by your initial OS installation. The current dependencies are build time. You must download and build the OS/Net source first and then set the ON_REF_GATE and other necessary variables in the opennws.env file. ON_REF_GATE This variable is used by the sources makefiles only. It is needed to define the location of the built ON for OpenSolaris workspace. The matching date stamp between the OS/Net and NWS source drops as listed in the ReleaseNotes file is correct. In your case, there are not any interface changes that would affect the build. thanks Charles Udayan Singh wrote: Hi Charles, Thanks :).. I hope any package that is required (dependency) for installation of NWS (on OpenSolaris) is freely available..

As stated on Sun's website, you need to register for free downloads. However, the registration process asks for some more personal information than I anticpated (real address, etc). The FAQ says this is because of export restrictions. However, it is still about murky on the subject.

[osol-discuss] PowerPC Project : Calm down people please
I am always amazed at what a powderkeg of emotions we have around the OpenSolaris.org project. It seems as if the slightest sparc sets off an explozone of some sort. Now then, the issue on the table is simple : There is a PowerPC Community and a PowerPC Project space on OpenSolaris.org but one of them is defunct and the other is clearly not. One of them needs to go. Let's not get into a quandry over the fact that there are code updates in the CVS that no one has seen or noticed and instead focus on simply reducing the PowerPC port project web spaces down to a reasonable number. Specifically we need to simply take the PowerPC Community web space and fold its contents into the PowerPC Project space. No, I don't understand the issue over Project versus Community either and that is a long standing problem that can be fixed over time. I do know that Steven Lau has noticed a 1 to 1 relationship between the content on the Community pages and the Project pages. So let's cull one of them. On the other matter, if someone wants to run off to Siberia and setup a web space to run a PowerPC port of OpenSolaris and call it emo-PPlaris then no one is stopping you. The PowerPC ( Polaris ) project can stay where it is at just fine thank you at OpenSolaris.org and then we can work all other issues out with reason and sound argument. - Dennis Clarke ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Brian Gupta wrote: I don't know that there are as many open source artists, do you? Have you been to Creative Commons lately? Wikipedia? Flickr? I don't write code, but I write words in blogs and presentations and I take thousands of photos and I give all of it away under the CC license. And the last I checked, I'm not the only one. Well? Was someone paid to design the Linux Penguin logos? (No) I think that with a community of approximately 60,000 people, you would be able to find at least one artist. (Possibly 100s) The 60,000 number has been artificially inflated and as an indication of what it really means, at a recent meeting inside Sun, we were encouraged to sign up pets, family members (mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc) to increase the numbers so that we actually reached that milestone. Sounds to me like someone's bonus is dependent on that number being reached. Signing people up like that doesn't create community members who are productive and interactive, it just creates a higher number for the purpose of statistical counting. I'm tempted to make some overgeneralisation about America and how quantity is seen by many to be more important than quality and all the evils that go with that.

Welcome davek, I am also registered and I never got spam like mails because of that. If you just want to circumvent the reg then go to genunix.org and download Belenix 0.6 (the recent release) and learn with it. Don't worry, Belenix is true OpenSolaris, so you will learn SysV with it. But for your ease of use it has many GNU tools on it. Have fun. PS: I really, really don't want to bug you as you are new here but for the sake of clean forums/mailing lists: Please, if you have questions or some problems later knowledge wise or usage wise with (Open)Solaris/Belenix then, please go to opsol-help.

Re: [osol-discuss] PowerPC Project : Calm down people please
Dennis Clarke writes: There is a PowerPC Community and a PowerPC Project space on OpenSolaris.org but one of them is defunct and the other is clearly not. One of them needs to go. Let's not get into a quandry over the fact that there are code updates in the CVS that no one has seen or noticed and instead focus on simply reducing the PowerPC port project web spaces down to a reasonable number. Specifically we need to simply take the PowerPC Community web space and fold its contents into the PowerPC Project space. Yep. Get rid of the community unless it's doing something useful. If there's only one actual project involved, then I'd argue that the community isn't useful. (It's entirely possible that, like dtrace, PPC becomes a community _after_ it delivers a project, so that it can guide future development.) I'd imagine that the existing Appliances and OS/Net communities would be nearly ideal for endorsing the existing PPC project. On the other matter, if someone wants to run off to Siberia and setup a web space to run a PowerPC port of OpenSolaris and call it emo-PPlaris then no one is stopping you. Indeed. Knock yerself out. It'd be nice, though, if those feeling the urge to fork didn't also feel the need to report their misery back here.

--- Jim Grisanzio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Of course we've been rude. We cut up marketing. We tare down lawyers. We laugh at executives. We attack other communities and ourselves. This is all accepted behavior in the OpenSolaris community. I've even been told privately that this is healthy. It's not. I reject it. Now, for every foolish thing we say, I can find equally foolish things other communities (and companies) have said as well. Jim, I respectfully disagree with you: It's messy, it's disorganized, it's confusing and it's not summarized in an executive statement, but all the wrangling is completely healthy. But what I do find fascinating is that for all the attacks on marketing, the marketing list is generally flame-less. And so is the user group community list. That's one of the reasons I suggested merging those communities. I felt that there was a lot of overlap in those communities in terms of people and in terms of issues, so why not combine forces and expand our voice? Imagine a community where attacks are /not/ acceptable and outside the norm. That's my vision for the Advocacy CG. This is not The Stepford Wives, or rather, The Stepford Programmers. Marketing and Legal do not a working distro make. That takes geeks who stay up late worrying about arcane, wizardish, fiendishly complex issues and who, out of their love for mankind and the semi-weekly paycheck, work hard at solving these unsurmountable problems. That these same people don't have the polish and gentle demeanor of ivy-league graduates should not surprise you. These people were outcasts in general society, preferring the dank dungeons of solitude to pep rallies and after-parties. You get them talking about their trade, and the uninitiated will be greeted by unseemly grunts and scratching of beards, and will not understand that the jabbing and eye-poking and name-calling is the way these cave-dwellers communicate most effectively. Of course, the sophisticated society would love to never have to encounter much less discuss anything with these programmers, but then they'd have to settle for no software being written. Maybe now you'll understand the saying that managing people is like herding cats: it's messy, and there's a lot of yelling involved, and an occasional boot in the back of the pants.

[osol-discuss] OpenSolaris PAC?
Inside Sun, there is a committee known as the Product Approval Committee that has oversight of what goes into Solaris. As this also impacts what is putback into nevada, it has oversight of OpenSolaris too, at present. Is there any thought that the same will (or will not :) be needed for OpenSolaris? And/or what should OpenSolaris be doing to work with the Solaris PAC? Do we wait for Sun to come out and say hello? What should OpenSolaris do if the Solaris PAC says no to something we want in OpenSolaris (given that going into nevada is the only way to get there at present)? Or vice versa, if the Solaris PAC said yes to something that OpenSolaris doesn't want? Should we have a [EMAIL PROTECTED]?

We've discussed this a few months ago, but since you're apparently just coming to the table now with all these questions... I'm not sure we need a PAC per se - it's about product definition and requirements (though perhaps Indiana will have a PAC-like body for it). What I think we will need is an OpenSolaris W-Team, analogous to the Solaris P-Team (though using the older name indicating it's the WOS team, instead of the product team) - a place where all the C-Teams send representatives to coordinate cross-consolidation issues projects, like determining which compilers are to be supported by all the consolidations, what the build schedules are (build number N occurs on which date?) or implementing things like Secure-by-Default across all the consolidations uniformly. I'd like to do even a better job here than the Solaris P-Team has, where things like SMF conversion are still hit and miss as to which C-Teams have done it yet, and some consolidations build with no-exec stacks and others don't. What should OpenSolaris do if the Solaris PAC says no to something we want in OpenSolaris (given that going into nevada is the only way to get there at present)? Or vice versa, if the Solaris PAC said yes to something that OpenSolaris doesn't want? The Solaris PAC is free to fork the OpenSolaris source tree to create a Solaris product with whatever changes they do or do not want, and will almost certainly have to do so at some point. That they haven't planned for this is a sign how little they've thought about what OpenSolaris really means to the way Solaris is built. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
