Hi Olaf, how useful would JDS be without the openXsun patches? If you feed distro-constructor with it, do you want to run X11 clients over the net? The JDS build process is a pit picky. The most important thing is to use the right build tools in their expected "versionitis" (previously common build environment aka CBE) But back to your packages: Until now I haven't built the sfw consolidation (since 2010). It is good, that you did this contribution. If you allow me to use sfw, it saves us time. Thank you for your help. It is good to know, that there are still others who stay committed to SPARC :) Regards, %martin ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
