The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/
has been updated to reflect the changes in snv_96 including major fixes
to the Caiman "Slim Install" and the Image Packaging System (IPS). In
addition, NetBeans 6.1 is now available in the repository.
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so using the "image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command.
For important information about "image-update", see the instructions at
http://opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/resources/rn3/image-update/
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed.
ISO images are being made available for this build via BitTorrent.
Torrent files are provided as follows
Primary Languages, gzip compression, 738MB

Known issues in this repository update
======================================
6733880 6677411/6677801/PSARC/2008/342 broke VirtualBox by polluting its
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6733880
When starting up, VirtualBox terminates prematurely with the
following message reported
ERROR: 0 bytes read from child process
Work-around:
Set the environment variable LD_NODIRECT to 1 prior to
executing VirtualBox
$ LD_NODIRECT=1 VirtualBox
3050 swap should be mandatory on systems with less than 1GB memory
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3050
On systems or virtual machines with 768MB or less of memory,
the installer can hang.
Work-around:
In the case of a virtual machine, allocate 1GB during
the installation phase. Otherwise, provide at least
the amount of disk space recommended by the installer
so that a swap volume will be created.
3200 "Malformed URL: None" when mirrors attribute on an authority is None
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3200
Systems that were originally installed with Developer Preview 2
can fail to "pkg image-update" with the following message
reported
ValueError: Malformed URL: None
Work-around:
Edit the file /var/pkg/cfg_cache and change any lines
of the form
mirrors = None
to instead read
mirrors = []
3214 additional NetBeans 6.1 dependencies needed
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=3214
On systems that have installed a subset of NetBeans 6.1
packages including SUNWnetbeans-ruby and/or
SUNWnetbeans-javaee, executing the IDE may report certain
modules as being missing.
Work-around:
Manually install the dependent SUNWlibnb-gsf1 package
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWlibnb-gsf1
