(I crossposted this to both discuss@ and developer@, please reply only
to discuss@; I know some of the developers don't watch discuss@, but was
hoping they might want to contribute this time).
Historically OpenIndiana has been the primary illumos development
environment. There's some discussion over on the OpenIndiana dev list
about the current and future status of the project. Some people say it's
dead, other people want to revive it; without commenting on or starting
a discussion about that, I think it's fair to say it's mostly stagnant
right now.
There was some talk once of starting an illumos "reference" distribution
for development purposes, did anything ever come of that? If not, is
there any interest in putting together a "supported" configuration for
core illumos development under omnios? ("supported" mostly just meaning
being able to discuss issues or problems without worrying about the
development environment itself causing the issue or problem, used by at
least some of the core developers would also be a plus :) ).
Personally I don't really need a desktop environment based on illumos,
although I wish the best to those that do and wish them good luck. I
need a stable server environment, which I have found in omnios (thanks
omniti!), and I'd like a stable development environment, whether that be
on top of omnios or a separate reference distribution. Ideally I'd
prefer not to try and maintain an OI environment just for development.
Is that more or less what everybody else is still doing?
