List of core GPL copyright holders
Hi all I've quietly been working on two concurrent issues. One is outside of the scope for this list, but it's tied to Nexenta or some project becoming an official Debian port. I don't have time before Monday, but if someone would be able to generate a list of GPL software and copyright holders included in the base Nexenta releases it would possibly help clear up one of the long standing blocking issues.

It can not find it because the sunw kerberos one is in /usr/sun/bin, which is not in its path. It can not find the Ubuntu one because when porting that package, its name was changed to libkrb5-config. situation with libkrb5 is currently not cleared up yet. I'm voting for OpenSolaris krb5 - to be a default in Nexenta. This would preserver compatibility with OpenSolaris distros. The ubuntu packages which are using krb5 are 99% autoconf/automake aware and should be able to detect OpenSolaris diffs. I'm not 100% familiar with the situation, but in case you guys aren't aware the krb5 implementation in onnv-gate has several rather important sun related improvements. I've briefly discussed making a patch against vanilla with the maintainer before, but it's simply on my TODO list and not done yet. So is this some choice between ubuntu package without sun enhancements or onnv-gate version? ___ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel
Anyone going to FOSDEM?
Hi Everyone! If anyone is going to FOSDEM this year I'd love to arrange some sort of meet-up for those interested in UNIX/(Open)Solaris development. I'm working hard to try to get the OSUNIX project in shape, but completely outside that willing to offer any help I can. I can offer help for: 1) Getting started hacking onnv-gate 2) debugging with Sun tools 3) Status on removing all closed binaries 4) Basics for getting started with OpenSolaris technology So if you're an old vet and want to bounce ideas or coming from Linux and need a jumpstart let's pick a time place. Add your name and desired time/place to this doc so we can organize it centrally http://www.osunix.org/docs/DOC-1014 Cheers, ./Christopher irc: #ospkg irc.freenode.net ps..

nexenta-on source package
Hi guys.. I'm trying to find the latest nexenta-on source package.. Can you push that somewhere please.. I'm also curious why it's not available already? Thanks ./C ___ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel
New community based development list
Hi all.. I've been tearing apart onnv-gate for a couple months now and have a very clear idea of what it would take to build an entirely from source OpenSolaris technology based distribution. I'll probably post patches and details of my work at a new development list I've setup. I know Nexenta has some core developers already, but for anyone who has questions about the code this is the place to ask. Visit http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/osunix-dev or put subscribe in the subject and send a quick email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Summary: This list provides a place for new and old OpenSolaris technology developers to collaborate, share ideas, patches and peer review entirely free of constraints. Our major goal is to bring together the pockets of developers to create a sustainable community and drive innovation. Cheers, ./Christopher ps..

Anil Gulecha wrote: Yup.. codestrOm helped me with that. It now fails at a point where we can proceed once heimdal is rebuilt (my other mail on dh_shlibdeps). I have a high level of interest in possibly helping with the krb5/heimdal as it's something on my eventual TODO list.. I've talked with the Sun maintainer about it and the best long term approach is to Firstly, choose to either use upstream (Sun) or vanilla.. There are some added features/benefits to using the Sun version which is what I thought most maintainers would naturally opt for. However, the maintenance of this w/o the help of Sun is a pita. I think the middle ground is a 1x hit of generating a patch against vanilla which can be maintained against any patches provided by Sun and any possible security/bug related issues provided by the vendor. I've got some notes on it if anyone would like to take a poke at it. Topics like this will surely come up on the new list.. ./C ___ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel

Hi Erast, Please email me offlist so we can coordinate infra issues since I already have a domain and extensive plans. This will avoid confusion and duplicate work. I've also dropped opensolaris-discuss from the cc. For the technical side of this lets continue on the osunix-dev list.
