[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster News 2015W31: First issue !
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: - developments, - new and updated packages, - current known issues, - works-in-progress and future goals. This will hopefully allow you to get better understanding of the current activity and give you the opportunity to provide insights and feedback. We will also post these news to a blog entry (yet to be defined). There has been a lot of activity in the past weeks in oi-userland [1], summarized below: most notable being the encumbered repository. 1. Hipster encumbered repository The encumbered repository for Hipster [2] was created to provide multimedia software which used to be part of sfe-encumbered. As a first step ffmpeg 2.7.2 and dependencies were added. You can find a list of components which ought to be added in the coming weeks, on the Wiki page [3]. Contributing new components is as easy as: - forking + cloning the oi-userland repository, - copying one subdirectory of components/encumbered to get started, - modify the Makefile and add patches if necessary such that ‘gmake install’ succeeds, - generating a manifest with ‘gmake sample-manifest’ and modifying it if necessary, - creating a pull-request. 2. Summary of oi-userland activity Additions: - encumbered: ffmpeg 2.7.2 + dependent libraries - openal 1.16.0 - bullet 2.83 - inkscape 0.48.5 Updates: - Apache 2.4.16 - Lighttpd 1.4.36 - Perl 5.22 (in progress) - PHP 5.5.27, 5.4.43 - freetype 2.5.5 - libdrm to 2.4.62 - nodejs 0.12.7 - several X11 components and libraries, in sync with x-s12-clone - Boost 1.58 with MPI support - Compiz Fusion 8.10 Deprecations: - Apache 1.3 - MySQL 5.1 - Perl 5.10 (see Heads-up below !) Current goals: - add GTK3: requires atk, gobject-introspection update first - port of LibreOffice 4.4.x: warm thanks to Apostolos Syroupolos for contributing the librevenge component, any help is appreciated ! [4] - update Pulseaudio to 6.0: in progress - add more components to hipster-encumbered, priority being VLC and gstreamer bad/ugly codecs 3. Heads-up: Perl 5.10 deprecation Removal of Perl 5.10 means that default illumos.sh will not work any longer and you need to add : export PERL_VERSION=5.22; export PERL_PKGVERS=-522 to illumos.sh while compiling illumos-gate.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] LibreOffice: librevenge, libodfgen, libwpd, libwpg
Hi, I submitted the PRs for the aforementioned libraries compiled in 32bit only as LibreOffice will certainly be their only consumer: they can be added as 64bit later on if needed. The Wiki was updated accordingly: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/LibreOffice If someone wants to contribute one of the remaining libs please drop me a line.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] USB 2 performance
I did some test today with another USB drive.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] USB 2 performance
Hi, There is indeed a much newer version of ntfs-3g on Jean-Pierre André's website: 2015.3.14AR.1. He posted very good results earlier this year. Having these in oi-userland is on the TODO list and would be great. Thanks for your report.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Σχετ: Re: USB 2 performance
Wait a moment! The problem is indeed related to the FAT32 implementation (so sad noone took over the task to improve the code but then Solaris drivers are unnecessary complicated) but who said there is an NTFS driver? You have to use fuse to mount NTFS formated disks and I have no idea how to ebable automount with such a setup. A.S.
