Hello,
this message is the first instance of the Hipster News Bi-weekly.
Every two weeks, we will try to give a comprehensive overview of the
recent progress:
Isn't newsletter suppose to be also sent on separate mailing list, too?
It could be ok at first, for people that are already subscribed to
existing lists
to be automatically subscribed to the new newsletter lis
, so that feedback could be on it's own mailing list.
Hello.
We have http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-announce,
but I don't know who follows it.
I also have thing about list name.
It is Openindiana Hipster. unless someone thinks separating from
Openindiana?
We ARE OpenIndiana. We build on OI sources, we use OI infrastructure. I
don't imagine why could one want to separate from OI.
About current issue:
-Where is OI Hipster encumbered repository located? (how to add and
install it to current installs?)
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster-encumbered/
The repository still doesn't contain all packages from sfe-encumbered,
so we don't advise to change /sfe-encumbered to /hipster-encumbered yet.
But you can try what works for you. The most irritating part for users I
think is that /hipster-encumbered still misses gstreamer plugins.
About sound, my volume setting stopped working recently (about month
ago) in Hipster. I need to start sound preferences to set it up. Also to
get full volume, I also need to set up "Built in speaker" to the higer
level after every restart, but that is an ald issue.
Could you describe problem more precisely? I've just checked that gnome
volume control works as expected on up-to-date system.
Isn't changing illumos.sh to reflect Perl update,
could be addressed with automatic patching of copy of upstream illumos
source code before building it?
These changes are already dealt with in oi-userland. They concern only
developers who build illumos-gate manually.
Does OI Hipster or OI /dev have separate list of patches to apply to
illumos, prior shipping?
Yes. OI /dev builds its own clone of illumos-gate, which contains
several patches, most notable vmxnet3s driver, some fixes to allow
smoother updates from OpenSolaris, some SMF fixes and branding changes.
I think several of them can be easily upstreamed, several are not so
important.
