Full integration into Debian is a big challenge, it could be #3 among these large steps: 1. Make self-hosted distribution with illumos kernel and libc 2. Port glibc 3.

Well, issues are: - Manpower. - I do not know illumos kernel deep enough I've picked patches from http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~dtbartle/opensolaris/ and applied them onto modern glibc: https://github.com/ip1981/kopensolaris-glibc After step #1 it will be much easier. I already can understand almost everything written in https://github.com/ip1981/kopensolaris-glibc/blob/master/NOTES.opensolaris :-) > While this is an implementation detail being up to you, I suggest to > look at kfreebsd core packages. These had a similar problem (GNU make > vs. BSD make), and it was solved in a pretty lazy way. YMMV. There is open-source SunOS make - https://github.com/ip1981/sunmake. It has two issues: 1. Cannot run several jobs (-j N) 2. Segfaults at illumos libsocket :-) illumos used to be build with "dmake" from Solaris Studio. (It is not the same as for OpenOffice) This is absolutely not an option. So I decided to patch GNU make. > Did you make proper source packages out of that? This what I'm currently working on. Technically, it *is* solved now. That why I dare to announce Dyson :-) > Do you > have some statistics how much of Debian main builds on > your system for the time being? If I understand you correctly: find -name \*.deb | wc -l 4746 You can browse at http://apt.osdyson.org Now I have full Perl, Python, Ruby stacks, GCC toolchain, git, hg, bzr, subversion, git-buildpackage, etc. Almost everything for development, but Emacs :-P There is no problem to grab recent version from Debian and to rebuild. Most perl modules just copied as is. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
