The OpenSolaris development package repository
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/
has been updated to reflect the changes since OpenSolaris 2009.06
including builds snv_112 through snv_117 for both x86/x64 and SPARC
platforms. This update includes fixes to the Caiman "Slim Install" and
the Image Packaging System (IPS).
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do
so by setting their preferred authority to the above URL and using the
"image-update" facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the
"Update All" facility of the Package Manager GUI.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The development builds have undergone limited testing
and users should expect to uncover issues as the next release is
developed. Bug reports and requests for enhancement are welcome
through http://defect.opensolaris.org/
IMPORTANT VIRTUALBOX NOTE: The VirtualBox guest additions in releases
prior to 3.0 Beta 1 are not compatible with builds 116 and beyond.
Users should remove the guest additions from their virtual machine or
upgrade to the latest 3.0 Beta version of VirtualBox and install the
corresponding version of the guest additions
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.0_BETA2/
Known issues in this repository update
======================================
6854482 Xorg 1.6 doesn't try vesa by default
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6854482
When the OpenSolaris Live CD is booted under VirtualBox, the
Xorg server is not started automatically.
Work-around: When the initial GRUB menu appears, select the
"OpenSolaris 2009.06 VESA driver" option.
ISO image information
=====================
ISO images for the Automated Installer[1], CD-R/CD-RW and USB are being
made available for this build via BitTorrent. Torrent files are
provided as follows
SPARC Automated Installer image, 277M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-117-ai-sparc.iso.torrent
x86/x64 Automated Installer image, 169M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-117-ai-x86.iso.torrent
x86/x64 All Languages CD, LZMA compression, 732M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-117-x86.iso.torrent
(NOTE: If burned to media, image should be burned to a DVD-R/DVD-RW)
x86/x64 All Languages USB, LZMA compression, 878M
http://dlc.sun.com/torrents/info/osol-1002-117-x86.usb.torrent
MD5 checksums for these images
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/indiana/files/md5sums_117.txt
The ISO images are also available for HTTP download from
http://www.genunix.org/
USB images can be copied to a USB device using the "usbcopy" program
that is part of the SUNWdistro-const package or by downloading the
script[2].
Automated Installer
===================
The SPARC Automated Installer ISO for this development build is
expected to work on all sun4v-based platforms and on sun4u-based
platforms with an OBP level of 4.17 or greater. This capability can be
determined on an existing system by executing the command
# eeprom | grep network-boot-arguments
If the network-boot-arguments parameter is set or if the following
output is displayed
network-boot-arguments: data not available.
then the OBP can be used with the Automated Installer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Systems being used to support the Automated Installer
and which are updated to build 110 or later must recreate the
associated services[3].
