Hi Folks, Now that lots of bugs are fixed and a fairly functional and stable KDE4 ia available with lots of new packages added, it is time now to move to beta stage. So the current state of the repository can be termed as a Beta1 release. This is still available only via the Network Installer. Please also verify the text of the notice below and let mw know since I am going to send this out to several other lists:
============ BeleniX 0.8 Beta1 is now available with improvements (bug fixes and functionality) to the KDE4.3.1 desktop and other apps and new package additions. You need to use the Network Installer in order to install this 0.8 Beta1 Release. Here are the simple steps: 1) You need to be either running the OpenSolaris distro or BeleniX 0.7.1. 2) Download: wget http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/install_belenix 3) Execute: chmod +x ./install_belenix; pfexec ./install_belenix 4) You can run ./install_belenix -help to see a list of the options. * NOTE 1: The Network Installer will Not touch your current environment in any way. It creates a new Boot Environment and installs into that. You current environment remains as the default one. * NOTE 2: If you are already running BeleniX 0.8 Alpha, then you can upgrade to the Beta1 release by doing the following: 1) pfexec pkgrm SFEspkg 2) pfexec pkgadd -d http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/SFEspkg.pkg 3) pfexec spkg updatecatalog 4) pfexec spkg upgrade all trunk 5) Reboot into the new boot environment.
