Hi Karen, Jean,
wonderful job ! Thanks !
Since it is likely we will be adding stuff to the AI image
(installer pieces, support for service discovery, downloading
and mounting AI archives, test drivers, ...),
I would like to ask, what the prerequisites are in order to be
able to reproduce the steps for creating AI image.
I could think about following pieces (I assume there might be more :-)
* IPS repo
- ipkg.sfbay:29048 (available only internally)
* modified DC running on Sparc machine
- Are DC diffs available for taking a look or could
we pick up modified version ?
* AI manifest
- /net/line3-v480.sfbay/rpool/dc/ai_x86_image_sparc.xml (available
only internally)
Thank you,
Jan
