Hi, Jim.

I think something needs updating, either the repos, or the docs to
exclude and no longer mention the unmaintained stale resources...
It is misleading otherwise (i.e. I updated my old hg workspace and
expected to have all the recent developments in illumos-gate, while
I actually got only a year-old version of the sources).

Or am I missing something?..

On a side note, I believe the OI and Hipster releases, being open
sourced and all that, should also include their build recipes in
the repo ("illumos.sh" with the specific release-tag strings like
GATE='oi_151a7' and the compiler settings, and maybe other similar
config files), so that anyone interested can rebuild their own
binaries identical to OI's at the time of a specific distro release
(i.e. for certification or audit purposes). Is there any fundamental
objection to such an RFE? :)


For /hipster the "official" way to rebuild illumos-gate is using components/illumos/illumos-gate component (https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/illumos/illumos-gate) from oi-userland. It generates environment necessary for nightly.sh (look at Makefile). Not so sure about /dev. It seems that https://hg.openindiana.org/sustaining/oi_151a/illumos-gate/ is used now. I think that Jon's intention was to use https://github.com/OpenIndiana/illumos-gate in the future ,
but I'm not sure if it's actually used now.
