Binary downloads for JDS Vermillion build 44 are now available from: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/current/
Spec files used in the build are also available. This build requires snv_40 or greater. This build is based on GNOME 2.14.1. IMPORTANT NOTES FOR BUILD 44: 1) A new version of the OpenSSL libraries will be in snv_43. Vermillion 44 was built with these new libraries so you must install the SUNWopenssl-libraries manully before installing Vermillion 44. Most importantly, you must *NOT* remove the existing SUNWopenssl-libraries package when installing the new version, otherwise pkgadd and pkgrm will fail. When installing this package, choose to ignore the conflicting files (under /usr/sfw/lib). The package is in a SUNWopenssl-libraries-[x86|sparc].tar.gz tarball. This step is *not* required if you get your hands on snv_43. 2) As root, run "svcadm disable svc:/system/postrun:default" to disable the postrun service and avoid install time messages. 3) The ownership of a lot of files and directories has been changed from the insecure root:other to root:bin or root:sys. This results in 'attribute change only' conflicts during install as non-JDS packages have not been changed yet. The 'install-jds' script must be run with the '--force --ignore' options to install the packages while ignoring these conflicts. When the other packages make their changes this will cease to be a problem. Again, this is not an issue in snv_43.
