Hi, Deano I am converting all the consolidations building instruction into xml files. and this xml file can be playbacked but /opt/TWWfsw/bin/sb (sb=software build) tool.
Very similar following command to create O.I. CD/USB image. except the abstraction is one level higher. pfexec distro_const build ./new_slim_cd_x86.xml So for this digitization effort is to generate O.I. sparc image to provide alternative OS that our Sparc hardware can run freely. I don't expect it got adopted by this group since TWW Inc.'s GNU tool-sets is not well-known. But I am documenting this approach at R1. tj R1: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/CPAMTWW On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 7:13 AM, Deano <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > The conversation on the Distributed build system stalled on finer points but > the large idea seemed to have everyone support.
