In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Building OpenIndiana from sources,...:
Thanks for answering my post. I have been reading a lot of the documentation and will do some more reading over the next couple of days in preparations. Although I am still not sure where the main build branch is to create the LiveCD of OI (Hypster),
hipster, not Hypster. Though I like Hypster too! :-) Also, don't confuse the process of building an individual package (a "component") like 'desktop/cd-burning/brasero' with the process of assembling a bunch of packages into a distro. If you're starting by trying to build a LiveCD, you're starting at the point when all the packages should already have been built and published to one or more publishers (think: yum repo).
it seems that these are the important locations: https://github.com/OpenIndiana https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland https://github.com/OpenIndiana/slim_source
OpenIndiana is the umbrella, if you want to get comfortable with the process of building individual packages, you probably want to start with oi-userland.
My next steps, I am guessing, will be to install OI on some native hardware so that I will have a build environment in OI to build OI LiveCD and then I will try to do a basic complete build without modifying anything. If that goes well then I can investigate taking out packages from the LiveCD.
Sure. You wouldn't need native hardware for that, you could do it in a VM with enough disk and other resources.
I would like to see how small I can make the actual LiveCD with GUI.
Understood.
