Well then, a couple of scripts that would run all needed commands to get everything ready (one to be run with privileges appropriate to installing additional software like the compiler, one to be run as whatever account was going to do the build) would be a nice gesture, IMO.
The first of those could: * install any needed IPS packages that weren't already installed. * fetch (or at least open a window on the web site) the compiler * install the compiler and any other required non-IPS software The second could: * offer to fetch the source * offer to spawn an interactive subshell with the appropriate environment to right the nightly script or anything with similar requirements that one might wish to run It would be very nice to get the instructions down to: * install latest OpenSolaris (from link) * install scripts (link) * run first script as root * run second script as oneself And, for the sake of those of us who wonder if we could pull off a build in the limited space of a virtualized environment (VirtualBox, xen, VMware, whatever), minimum total requirements for everything for both disk space and RAM would be desirable (I tried to do a build once with 2GB RAM assigned to a vm, and it died thrashing horribly - that's all I could spare to assign to a VM on the system I tried that on). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
