Hello, yesterday, I upgraded my local installation of OpenIndiana to prestable6. Now Mercurial 2.3.1 is release, so I downloaded the package extracted the source and issued a gmake local compile run, but this fails now. The error message is: running build_ext building 'mercurial.base85'

really? Can you elaborate? The thing is, I'm in the process of compiling and updated winbind from latest Samba sources (and documenting that process) in order to test with that if the problems with supplementary groups go away and if it works with Solaris CIFS. After I'd installed winbind

Andrew, There are no serial ports and hence no /dev/term/b on this system. In fact if the USB-RS-232 adapter is not plugged in, there is no /dev/term or /dev/cua either. Which may explain some of the weirdness when I was setting up the port as I don't think I had plugged in the Keyspan

Jon, Oracle is deprecating the Sun dhcp server and replacing it with ISC based upon what I've been reading. It's one of the reasons that Oracle pushed changes to the ISC source. Regardless, I have no reason to replace the server since it has everything I need in a dhcp server. Others don't

The stty changes will be lost when the last stream closes and the port settings are reset, which is probably the very instant that the stty command which makes the changes exits in your example. So this will only work if something else is holding the port open. That's why I said try it when

never use USB- Serial when you're testing something. There is a huge difference between products, and the bad products behave very unpredictable. Don't forget that the voltage of USB is 5V MAXIMUM but can be much lower depending on the hardware, legacy serialports need a good 5V for a logical 1.

The MCU is 3.3V, so it requires a level shifter to match the 5V coming from the USB-serial adapter to the MCU. The level shifter and Keyspan work just fine, though the USB driver may not be playing nice. The real issue is the pathologically complex handling of serial lines in Solaris and the
