Andrew, Right. LTS 2.0 is out. Because of that, we had face-to-face core team meeting yesterday, and before that we discussed with Shiv and BeleniX team about Hardy migration - that is NCP 2.0.
Shiv will continue NCP 2.0 migration effort in 2-3 weeks (he started it ~3 months ago), and I will help him then. But we need MORE free hands helping us. So, I'm asking developers on this mailing list - please join IRC in the next 1-2 weeks to coordinate the effort. First thing is to compile gcc tool-chain using NCP 1.0 environment - hacks are OK. Later, recompile base packages ~ 200, and later re-compile tool-chain again using new environment. As the result, we will have new APT which we will wrap using nexenta-builder as a first minimalistic ISO and that will be release NCP 2.0 Alpha 1. We have couple of build machines at Stanford University, as well as in few other places - so, if some devs on this mailing list wants to help us - please let us know on IRC #nexenta and we will create SSH accounts and proper setups. Regarding Sun & Nexenta - we are truly friends, and Sun really helping us in many ways, as well I think we helping Sun in some ways too.
