Hi,

If you have any time to test SmartOS or LX-brand now would be a great
time! The OS team has squished the nasties we know about.


## DETAILS

We, Joyent, are working towards deploying out Lx-brand images to
joyent.com production DCs starting later this month. Although, the
same (general) development on master branch, there will be additional
eyes on FCS (first customer ship) for the platform image (PI).
https://github.com/joyent/eng/blob/master/docs/index.md#rule-1-fcs-quality-all-the-time

The regular upstream merge has been done
https://github.com/joyent/illumos-joyent/commit/9878d862e3fea77f1e5e392a799e8f760b6adbfe
and platform image unification has landed
https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/commit/c25ea887b394140d9edccb976f4a0928bb1e3db5


## STATUS

Bryan has reasonably set blocker to be platform stability (panic). The
one blocker currently is: - OS-4119 "lxbrand panic when running native
perl inside lx zone"
  https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-4119


## REQUEST

** If you've seen anything gnarly bring it! **
https://github.com/joyent/sdc#contributing

If you haven't recently worked with SDC, I'm getting a lot of milage
out of using sdcadm in my testing CoaL environment.
https://github.com/joyent/sdc/blob/master/docs/developer-guide/coal-setup.md#update-coal


## ADDITIONAL DETAILS

You'll likely see min_platform bumped on the Lx-brand images for
download any time PI has a fix that will change behavior of apps
running in LX.

I haven't yet followed up if we'll be cutting additional standalone
SmartOS images during this time.

I'll reply when we have a release candidate. If you are waiting on
access to Joyent Triton early access, let me or your Joyent friends
know.


Thank you,
Lloyd
testing
