We lack support for hdmi audio.
This is provided in recent drm code, I think the code can be ported easily
from the OpenBSD/FreeBSD source.
I had a drm tree synchronized with libdrm 100, more recent kernel driver
sources, and hdmi but it would freeze now and then so I never got the
chance to integrate it.

I cannot remember which option it is but you can autopurge the cache after
successful install using a pkg property.

Marcel is right, there were a few modules to ensure the transition from
Python 2 to Python 3 such as this one and other backport.* packages.
Migrating to Python 3 as default and obsoleting these transitional packages
should be enough.

Thanks, that's great :)
I recall that there was possibly a third package but not sure if that was
for an older theme.
When I packaged them there was a change in what was delivered in mkdocs,
they had split some themes so I do not remember very well...

I am not asking you to stop anything at all, I am just asking questions to
understand if this will not bite us back at some point.

If you feel that you have everything covered then it is fine by me.
Seeing the stream of obsoletions without warning was quite surprising and
raised a few questions.

You know how you want to handle things, but this is maybe less clear to
others.
At least maybe some indications on how to add the packages back and make
sure there is no mistake or loss of consistency with the location/naming
etc..

Kind regards,

Aurélien

We could define some rules or information depending on the nature of the
package to mark which dependencies are expected.
Some python modules have been added for the sake of resolving a dependency
while others have no consumer in userland but are expected to be installed
as "standalone" and consumed by users directly.

Also I am not sure I understood which type of dependencies are considered
here:
- resolved within userland either directly or added explicitly in the
manifest
- build requirements
- dependencies detected by pipdeptree (which are a superset of what
pkg/userland detects)

I just want to make sure that we do not miss some border effects.

I do not understand the need for obsoleting the entire package and removing
all the files instead of updating on the go.

Could you explain the motivation?

To me this seems a bit of overhead, like removing the mkdocs, cython, numpy
packages completely from the tree instead of updating them.

I agree.

However that does not explain why updating xscreensaver fails although it
does not depend on perl 5.24 anymore.

There is seemingly no problem with the package dependencies, xscreensaver
does not depend on perl-524 anymore.
Could you try installing/updating specific package versions?

I have noticed that pkg is sometimes not able to cope well with updates
involving deprecation.
It attempts to resolve the dependency to the deprecated packages and update
this latter although it should be dropped.

Explicitly providing the versions you want to install on the command line
usually circumvents the issue.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Miscellaneous component fixes and migrations

2022-07-22 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi everyone,
due to some changes happening in the past 2 years some components needed to
be fixed (for most of them only a Makefile change or migration to newer
Python/Perl).
With Andreas we have worked to fix some of them in the past week as I could
help a bit.

However in the process I have found out that 32-bit versions had to be
retired due to missing dependencies (e.g. 32-bit gobject-introspection), or
conversion to 64-bit builds.
So far I have tried to follow dependencies and not to break anything but I
cannot ensure the absence of any side effects...

Do not hesitate to point out any regression by replying in this thread.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Strange (?) error

2022-06-01 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Your problem is that boost is compiler as 32 and 64 bits and your program
expects to find 64-bit versions where we install the 32-bit.
You should pass an environment variable to indicate where the cmake files
for the 64-bit version live: /usr/lib/amd64.
It is a similar recipe as for PKG_CONFIG_PATH probably.

I ended up deleting all the build zones and rebooting after I discovered
using mdb's ::fsinfo that doors for deleted zones were still present on the
system.
Trying to attach a debugger on zoneadmd process failed miserably.

I restarted from scratch with a new zone and things are working as expected.

Something went really wrong and I have no idea what...

My goal is to try to understand what triggered this breakage rather than

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Advice for setting up a build zone with a different subnet than the main network interface

2022-02-02 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Just a small update, on the system where the network froze there are two
zoneadmd processes that seem stuck.

root@jupiter-cemef:/export/home/alarcher# ps aux | grep zoneadmd
root  3438  0.0  0.0 7004 4012 ?S janv. 29  5:26 zoneadmd -z
build
root  6907  0.0  0.0 5132 1712 ?S janv. 31  0:00 zoneadmd -z
build0

I have halted and uninstalled the two zone earlier today.

If I try to truss the processes I get:

root@jupiter-cemef:/export/home/alarcher# pgrep zoneadmd
3438
6907
root@jupiter-cemef:/export/home/alarcher# truss -p 3438
truss: no such process: 3438
root@jupiter-cemef:/export/home/alarcher# truss -p 6907



truss: unanticipated system error: 6907

Is it expected?

The output below GZ shows both vnics while in the NGZ "build" it shows the

That's exactly what I have done.

The vnic for the zone is not used in the GZ, not configured but fails to be
recognized in the zone.

If I create a vnic without an etherstub then the vnic is seen in the zone.

Dear John,
thank you for your insightful suggestion and my apologies for the delay, I
have been busy with a handful of PhD students finishing soon...

I have switched to network/physical:default and implemented your suggestion
with the etherstub.

However I am very surprised that on both my systems this approach fails as
the network interface is not configured in the zone.

Even stranger, it seems that the vnic is only partially exposed to the zone.

For example:

GZ:
root@pegasus:~# dladm show-vnic
LINK OVER SPEED  MACADDRESSMACADDRTYPE VID
br0  ether0   0  2:8:20:da:ec:bb   random  0
vnic0ether0   0  2:8:20:cb:7b:85   random  0

NGZ:
root@build:~# dladm show-vnic
LINK OVER SPEED  MACADDRESSMACADDRTYPE VID
vnic0?0  2:8:20:cb:7b:85   random  0

On the second machin the zone simply refused to boot and the zoneadm
service is stuck, I cannot boot any other zone.

My setup without the etherstub led to a configured interface, in this case
the vnic was linked to the physical interface directly.

I wonder if we have some limitations in vanilla illumos which may have been
fixed in e.g. smartos.


Kind regards,

Aurélien

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Advice for setting up a build zone with a different subnet than the main network interface

2022-01-29 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you would have some recommendations for setting up the
crossbow configuration on a new server at university.

The machine has 3 networking interfaces:
- one bge0 with an address 10.202.96.14/24 given by the university's dhcp
server, that cannot be changed, I only have the right to get one IP,
gateway is 10.202.96.254.
- two 25Gb Mellanox interfaces configured as static addresses for serving
file shares to two other machines.

Until now I have used NWAM for the configuration by creating a specific NCP
then I had created a virtual NIC named vnic0 for the zone, and another br0
used as gateway with dladm/ipadm then  forwarding/routing rules from vnic0
-> br0 -> bge0 and masquerading from bg0 with a map in /etc/ipf/ipnat.conf.
The virtual subnet was such that vnic0 got address 10.202.254.1 and br0
10.202.254.100 with the appropriate netmask (16 I think).

However this setup breaks after the reboot because the NWAM configuration
creates temporary "objects".
Also I am not sure if this virtual nic serving as a gateway is
necessary, or if an etherstub should be used.

Do you have any pointer or recommendation for such a setup with a zone on a
virtual private subnet?

Kind regards,

Aurélien

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Deprecation of 32-bit encumbered binaries

2022-01-26 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
I have now deprecated 32-bit builds in the encumbered repository.
This means that ffmpeg is now 64-bit only and audacity was migrated to
64-bit.
The main motivation is that gcc-10 were failing for 32-bit builds and they
are probably not worth the trouble.

A few components in userland still rely on 32-bit gstreamer plugins: they
should be migrated as well.
I have already switched Gthumb to 64-bit yesterday.

As a side effect, meson was fixed to handle static linking properly, you
should update if you experience similar issues.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: [developer] SECURITY HEADS UP - illumos#14424

2022-01-18 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Given that illumos-gate is rebuilt every night, this change will land in
Hipster by tomorrow; it was merged into illumos-gate 3 hours ago.

Nonetheless I am forwarding the information in case it affects anyone
subscribed to these mailing lists.


-- Forwarded message -
From: Dan McDonald 
Date: Tue, Jan 18, 2022 at 7:55 PM
Subject: [developer] SECURITY HEADS UP - illumos#14424
To: illumos-developer , illumos-discuss <
disc...@lists.illumos.org>
Cc: Dan McDonald 


Hello folks!

Quick breakdown:

IMPACT: This bug allows an unprivileged user with access to a tmpfs to
induce a denial of service to the system. This is more serious if untrusted
users have access to the system (e.g. a shared environment).

ACTION: Please be on the look out for patches from the various
distributions and be ready to install them.

MITIGATIONS: At this time, there are no known easy mitigations that one can
apply short of disabling access to untrusted users and/or removing the
ability to use tmpfs from their zones.

NEXT STEPS: As we follow up on this, we'll be doing some additional
auditing and looking to more generally strengthen our regression test
suites to be able to catch issues like this in advance and ensure that that
they are not reintroduced.

.  .  .

These details are also in https://www.illumos.org/issues/14424

Security researcher Hans Christian Woithe reported CVE-2021-43395 to
both us and Oracle. He discovered conditions where any arbitrary
user
could induce tmpfs to panic with deadlock-detection. This bug tracks
our fix for this problem.

Tested using Hans's PoC, which now does not induce a panic. Tested
on
OmniOS both bare-metal (by Andy Fiddaman) and VM (by Dan
McD.). Tested on SmartOS bare-metal (by Dan McD.).

We will introduce more analysis into the bug report as this fix gets
propagated.

If you run a distro PLEASE PUT THIS FIX IN ANY SUPPORTED RELEASE YOU HAVE.
It's easily backportable/cherry-pickable; I know OmniOS has it in their
old-LTS r151030, for example.

Thanks to Robert Mustacchi and Andy Fiddaman for feedback of earlier
revisions of this fix.

Thanks especially to security researcher Hans Christian Woithe, who informed
us and Oracle of this very old bug.  I appreciate he took the advice here:

https://kebe.com/blog/?p=505

and I hope we reacted accordingly and politely (given we coordinated
releasing this fix with Oracle).

Please update your distros ASAP.  And after some time, we'll update 14424
with details on how we arrived at the illumos fix.

Thank you,
Dan McDonald & Robert Mustacchi - on behalf of secur...@illumos.org

I do not know if it is the case in this particular instance but we used to
delay bumping the year if an update of the userland compiler was foreseen.
This was to avoid bumping twice.

Upgrades of Ubuntu LTS break more than OI on my server and without any
possibility of rollback to a previous boot environment...

I think the idea of a "stable release" prepared for several years of
production should be relaxed...
Even on our last supercomputer we had to move to CentOS Stream since CentOS
has dropped support for a stable release...

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve but building and installing
illumos-gate on OI can be as simple as:
- cloning oi-userland,
- committing your changes locally or changing the branch to build in
oi-userland/components/openindiana/illumos-gate/Makefile and incrementing
the branch version,
- running gmake publish in components/openindiana/illumos-gate to build and
publish to the local repository located in oi-userland/i386/repo
- running pkg update -g oi-userland/i386/repo to a new BE,
- reboot.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana-discuss] Filezilla 3.47.2.1 working

2021-04-03 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Actually you can use 3.1.x with minor patching, that's what we did when
3.1.3 was shipped. FileZilla worked with 3.1.x perfectly.

Wxwidgets 3.1.x is the production version recommended by the developers and
3.0.x should be only used if backward compatibility is required.

We were told by their developers not to ship 3.0.x but rather 3.1.x and
adapt any code to use 3.1.x.

I am not sure why FileZilla uses a version that is not recommended

Your issues have nothing to do with OI itself I am afraid.

We ship vanilla illumos without any modification and when it comes to
Nvidia drivers they simply do not support illumos i.e. if they "work" we
are just lucky.

Carl reported recently that 6.1.18 fixed a regression for Solarish hosts

[OpenIndiana-discuss] PostgreSQL 9.5 deprecation notice

2021-02-04 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
during the migration to newer Python and the OpenSSL update, a few
components delivered as 32-bit binaries will either be moved to 64-bit or
phased out.

According to https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/, PostgreSQL 9.5
the last 32/64-bit postgres we deliver, is EOL'ed on 11th February 2021.

Therefore you are encouraged to migrate to a newer version as version 9.5
will be deprecated in our repository shortly after its official EOL.

Note that PostgreSQL 9.6 will be phased out at the end of November 2021 as
well.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

Hi,
sorry everyone for the tone of recent messages to the mailing lists.
While I did enjoy that these latter are less quiet than usual, discussions
will hopefully now remain as courteous and as pleasant as they usually are.

Thanks for your contributions.

It does not look like we do:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/python

You can add it by copying the recipe:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/python/zipp

and change the relevant information, set PYTHON_VERSION to
$(PYTHON3_VERSIONS) only.
You can execute gmake prep to get the sha256 sum to replace.

Then:

1) Copy the LICENSE file to gi.license

2) Rename the p5m file to gi-PYVER.p5m

3) Execute gmake sample-manifest

4) Copy the relevant entries from manifests/generic-manifest.p5m to
gi-PYVER.p5m

5) Try gmake pre-publish

If this fails with undefined dependencies, regenerate the list of deps
using 'gmake REQUIRED_PACKAGES'.

6) Cleanup REQUIRED_PACKAGES in the Makefile to remove duplicates.

7) gmake publish (this should pass except if some specific packaging tricks
need be pulled, in which case post the details here)

8) git add Makefile gi.license gi-PYVER.p5m manifests pkg5

9) git commit -m "gi: add version XXX"

10) Push your branch and open a PR.

Optionally you can install pipdeptree-39 to inspect if all the required
dependencies are installed.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] How to add a new package to distibution construction?

You should add the package FMRI in the distribution constructor manifest
like I should in the thread about nano.
Add it to one of the manifests included in slim_cd.
However sunpro is not available anymore from our repo for legal reasons, it
was obsoleted some weeks ago.

Also I just remembered that you ask why we do not have cc,c++,cxx etc.. in
/usr/bin... I forgot to reply...
A lot of software assumes that if /usr/bin/cc is found then it is Sunstudio
and sets it as default without checking that it is actually another
compiler e.g. GCC.
We had to refrain from providing the symlinks in /usr/bin to work around
such ill-defined behaviour...

Hello,
can we please keep the discussion focused on solving the problem rather
than finger pointing?

I'd like to ask you to stop disrupting threads the way you have done in the
past week.
There is a lot of work to do here and limited manpower, we need all the
positive energy possible to keep sailing :)
Do not interpret lack of reply to your tickets as disrespect or contempt:
we are all volunteers here, contributing in our spare time to help each
other.
Joshua replied to you in a very inspiring way, I hope his message was
understood.

However if you can't exchange with people in a courteous manner I'll have
to keep you out of the mailing list for some time.
Please know that this is something I'd like to avoid as you have been
otherwise dynamic and engaging: raising issues is appreciated and
discussing problems is encouraged.

We can all be frustrated with different limitations and bugs: the way to go
is to stay positive and address problems one by one the best we can and as
time permits.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

We actually have a Discord channel for OI devs already, but IRC has been

Trouble is that we called for contributions to migrate and enrich the new
documentation but it never gained momentum.
I started writing a maintainer's guide on the Wiki before the migration but
have absolutely zero time to dedicate to its migration to the new doc
system.

Alexander did move some pages to:

Something to keep in mind is that if you focus on another desktop then you
may leave behind features like the Time Slider that we have spent a
ridiculous amount of time porting from Gnome 2 to MATE and then
resynchronizing at each MATE iteration.

Hello,
it is not really about being loyal to MATE but commiting to maintain the
packages.

When swithing to gcc 10 I had to patch a few dozen packages that I do not
use or maintain but the original maintainer had no time or interest to fix
it.

We want to avoid situations were large pieces of software are added then
left to rot.

This is unfortunately the case for some important packahes due to recent
circumstances that have reduced our number of maintainers drastically.

There is not strong opinion against packages in general, just a question of
commitment to maintain them.

XFCE would be nice indeed, I packaged it back in OpenSolaris days :)

Cheers,

Aurélien

The likely explanation is that one of the graphical libraries was not
recompiled correctly.

My install has zero problems but the graphical libraries have not been
updated since last autumn as they were published from my own gcc-10 built
repository.
Let us bisect then ;)

Probably if you were more polite people would care more about your issues...

Maybe look upstream if a similar issue has been reported, the desktop code
is barely patched.
If you have a core file you could attach it as well to the ticket.

To help you, that were the flags are defined:

and where they are passed to configure:

Also all GCC <= 8 default to generating 32-bit binaries for historical
reasons (32-bit was the lowest common denominator to the i86pc arch).

GCC 9 and 10 default to 64-bit as i386 is not relevant anymore.

Build recipes for X11 components are at:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/x11/

The build system sets required flags to generate 64-bit (e.g. CFLAGS=-m64,
LDFLAGS=-m64).

For simplicity you can add a new component in this tree based on existing
recipes.

On Solaris/illumos i86pc denotes the architecture encompassing x86 and
x86_64, here called i386 and amd64 respectively.

The command 'isainfo' returns the supported Instruction Set Architectures
(ISA) for the machine while 'isalist' returns all the extensions.

First you need to allow cross-publisher updates:

pfexec pkg set-publisher --non-sticky openindiana

so that you can update from a package published at openindiana's repo to
yours.

Then:

pfexec pkg update -g /path/to/repo my_package_name

Also you can do:

pfexec pkg install -g /path/to/repo my_package_fmri

where my_package_fmri is the full package identifier that you can
copy/paste from the output of gmake publish.

You can even

pkgrepo -s /path/to/repo list

to make sure it was published where you think it was.

You can try to:

to update the repo index.

Thank you, no problem.

I understand your frustration.
We all have to deal with difficulties and things that do not work...

I started working again on the migration to GCC 10 and to Python 3.9 and it
is a bit daunting... ;)

Hi,
there is probably no question that illumos is a minor OS when it comes to
the size of the community; hardware support and software availability is
therefore more limited than systems backed by big companies and a few
hundred developers.

However until now this small community has always been courteous and
friendly.

Could you please make your point in a less offensive manner and possibly be
more constructive?

These mailing lists are a place for people exchanging ideas and providing
help, not for arsonists.

If you cannot cool your jets you'll be sent off the pitch for one week.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

Wine was provided by a third-party repository called SFE, but that was
a few years ago.
Probably OpenCSW had it as well.
I guess that's what was referred to.

Yes we need to add OpenJDK 11, I think Franklin was working on adding the

If he is busy I can take over and build the package this week, or if any

The reason is simple, historically the compiler and toolchain would default
to the least common denominator.

In this case there was not really a question of right or wrong but a matter
of convention.
Solaris defines an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)  which may be
supplemented with processor-specific extensions.
In our case the architecture is i386 and amd64 is seen as an extension.
The toolchain for a given ISA would therefore default to 32-bit (the least
common denominator) or use extensions if instructed to do so with flags.
This has been the convention for Solaris on sparc and i386.
Alan would be able to explain this better than I do.

This was also an approach chosen on at least some IRIX versions where some
workstations with MIPS R10K and dedicated ASICS would use optimized
binaries with such support.

The path chosen by most Linux distributions was to consider amd64 (later
renamed x86_64) as a different architecture and therefore distribution pure
64-bit.
However Debian for instance discovered rather soon that they had to provide
32-bit libraries for compatibility and retrofitted the "lib32" libraries,
and later on delivered libraries in subdirectories based on the platform
triplet.

So IMHO the Solaris approach made more sense, since you had to specify
which ISA and which standard compliance were intended.
On the contrary Linux distributions relied often on defaults guided by
convenience and selecting the "standard of the day", this has changed a lot
in recent years.

However, one could argue that 32-bit is not relevant anymore and that the
least common denominator should be replaced by the actual intended
architecture: 64-bit in this case.

Therefore I took the liberty of selecting 64-bit code generation by default
since I packaged gcc-9, and kept the same rule for gcc-10.
So your complaint is not founded at all: we are transitioning as fast as
time permits.
Some of the issues with the migration to gcc-10 was indeed the assumption
the build system made on the defaut bitness of generated binaries.
I fixed about a hundred of such issues back in spring last year.

Most of your issues come from incorrect assumptions: this is often the case
when you are used to one type of system and some of the problems you
mention denote a lack of experience with UNIX in a broad sense.
I had the same expectation when I started my Linux/UNIX journey 15 years
ago as a student in engineering.
However I was very curious and willing to learn the differences between
systems so I installed and played with Debian, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
Solaris 7/8/9/10, IRIX, on various machines including SPARC and Alpha
workstations.

Talking and throwing anathema is not really something I am interested in.
I'd rather work on contributing and take a constructive approach.

I was a member of a Linux user group from 2003 to 2008 where BSD/Solaris
users were often mocked for using inferior systems: I was once called an
idiot for installing NetBSD and Solaris on my machines.
Interestingly whenever the discussion became a bit technical and concrete
about what they did not like about BSD/Solaris/IRIX most Linux proselytes
in the group would actually admit that they had never run anything else
than Debian or Red Hat :)
The Slackware guru in the group always sided with BSD people though :P
We would eventually reconcile around a few bottles of beer and a few pizzas
:D

In any case, as other people mentioned we have a build system to set all
the flags automatically if you are not familiar with UNIX.
If you choose to compile things outside this environment then you need some
minimal knowledge of the environment.
These things, while they could be made more convenient, are luckily fairly
trivial and most of us deal with them.

We talked about this some months ago and unfortunately I got sick and could
not do the gcc-10 migration.
So here we are again with you complaining :P :P :P

Cheers

Hi,
our drm/i915 kernel driver is a bit dated and needs some work.

I have a branch with some updates but it is hard to close the gap as there
are dependencies between drm/i915, libdrm, mesa which are hard to untangle.

One missing bit in illumos is proper HDMI support which is now a
requirement for moden drm kernel. module.
This can be ported from OpenBSD last time I checked.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Python 3.7 and 3.9

2021-01-09 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
just a few notes:
1) Following Apostolos message python-37 was modified to provide IDLE in a
separate package: idle-37. After the next update you may need to reinstall
it.

2) The library libpython3.so which provides a stable ABI was not provided
by python-3X packages, this is now the case for 3.7; the link is mediated.

3) Two fixes (sendfile and sched_get_priority) were backported from 3.8/3.9;

4) Python 3.9.1 was added based on solaris-userland patchset + testsuite
fixes from Andy, thanks go to them.

No we need to:
1) Migrate away from 3.5 to 3.7 as the default Python implementation.

2) Provide required Python 3.9 modules for pkg5 (cherry-py, rapidjson, six,
etc..).

3) Automate/simplify the update process for Python modules to reduce manual
intervention. As Till pointed out, we need to be smart about it.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

I will also set up a build zone on a file server which has fairly low

There were only ~10 packages left to fix back then.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Tasks to focus on

2021-01-07 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
since I have now more or less recovered from Covid I can be active to some
extent.

Back in March I was working on:
- building oi-userland with GCC-10 (everything was built except ~10
packages).
- providing Python 3.8 and 3.9.
- migrating pkg5 to Python 3.7.
- updating Boost.
- updating Clang.
- updating Rust.
- updating libdrm to 2.4.100.
- bringing automated rebuild of oi-userland packages and dependencies in
order.

However priorities should be set as I cannot dedicate too much time...

- What do you think should be prioritized?
- Is anybody interested in picking up one of the tasks? I can assist and
provide some guidance.

Kind regards,

Aurelien

I do not think starting from scratch to aim at building something right
here right now, but keeping a convergence with OmniOS on the overlap that
Joshua and Andy have mentioned should be a goal.

If we do not pay attention I am worried that we end up with an increasing
gap like on pkg5 (we are two Python versions behind Andy on pkg5).

There are areas when it comes to package maintenance where contributions
are welcome:
- Python (our build system is not flexible enough, too much manual work for
nothing)
- Boost
- Rust
- LLVM/Clang

Then only after Clang and Rust are updated we can consider updating Firefox
as many have requested.

Without valuable contributors like you, Nona, Rick, Jim, Till, it will be
hard to keep up.

I have tried to keep rebuilding the entire userland with GCC 10, my goal is
to have this done by the next snapshot.

It is actually my mistake... I added idle to the main python package as I

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Merging OI + OmniOS? (And OpenZFS vs ZFS)

2020-12-30 Thread Aurélien Larcher
This is something that was discussed in the past when OmniOSCE was created
but back then there was a focus on providing continuity of releases and too
few people: the goal for to have a true reference distribution.

Back then Adam and I had suggested to merge the distributions given the
size of our respective communities: use OmniOS as a core OS with their
release schedule and use oi-userland to provide extra packages but there
was no interest.

Tobias suggested to me that OI being an inferior distribution I should
better use my time and provide X11 packages to OmniOS instead. Obviously
his comment did not motivate me much :)

I think merging both makes sense to gain momentum and stopping reinventing
the wheel given the number of developers (us pulling from OmniOS and
Dominik packaging stuff that we already have).

But then it means that there is no illumos distribution actually running
vanilla illumos which is a bit sad.

We've had good interactions on compilers and pkg so that's at least a great
start.

Also this may be an overhead for Andy and he should have a good idea if it
is doable, if this is something that would be positive for him and what
would be the milestones.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Support Icon on Desktop

2020-06-27 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
I actually suggested this similar idea three years ago:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/pull/2497

This would have distributed the OI documentation in a package and provided
a menu icon to open it in a browser.
The proposal was rejected.

Kind regards,

Aurélien

This can be done continously via incremental send for ongoing backups. If
the system disk fails (or you want to replace), add a new disk, install a
default OS, import the datapool and restore the BE via zfs send. Then
activate this BE and reboot to have the exact former OS installation
restored.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 2020.04: tcl/tk

2020-06-18 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
It is very strange because the library installed in the proto area on the
build server is correct:

o...@hipster.openindiana.org:/jenkins/jobs/oi-userland/workspace/components/tcl/tk$
strings build/prototype/i386/usr/lib/libtk8.6.so | grep 8.6
libtk8.6.so
8.6.10
libtk8.6.so
optionStrings.19896
.L826
.L896

yet the library delivered in pkg://
openindiana.org/runtime/tk-8@8.6.10-2020.0.1.1:20200522T194741Z is invalid.

The reason is that the libraries were not copied again in
build/prototype/i386/mangled/ so that build/prototype/i386/mangled/usr/lib/
libtk8.6.so is the wrong one...

This indicates an issue in the build system.
I will republish the package.

Thank you for reporting the issue and sorry about the trouble...

I looked at dependencies using pkg search -r -o pkg.name
"depend:require:library/icu" and then iterated through the dependencies.

Unfortunately it did not go so well as the build server decided to become
unavailable at the last round of builds...

For now the build server is down and the latest packages have not been
published... I am very sorry about that... :(

Currently the procedure is partly manual and fragile but there is some work
by Adam to automating rebuilds of dependent packages by iteratiing on the
graph (and breaking cycles).
It requires more integration but will be crucial to deal with OpenSSL.

Another difficulty is packages that may fail to build because our build
server is either on an older verson of osnet-incorporation or because
OpenGL code builds differently in zones...

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ICU update and rebuilds

2020-06-01 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
ICU is being updated to a non-ABI compatible version and quite a few
components need a rebuild...so the server will be quite busy and
unavailable at times in the coming 10 hours.
I would suggest postponing any update...

I did rebuild avahi a few days ago but the code did not change:

When was your previous BE created? before or after the bump to 0.7.0 on Jan

Is one of you able to look at the commit history between 6.1.4 and 6.1.6 to

Maybe diff the source if it is easier?
