Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail on oi 151_a9

2014-10-14 Thread Jonathan Adams
I have to agree with Predrag, postfix is really easy to set up, and is
the default on most Linux systems nowadays.

I don't personally use it, for our systems at work, but that is mostly to
do with how it handles aliases.

alias1: buddy, helen
alias2: buddy, alias1

sending mail to alias2 will send 2 copies to buddy, and one to helen.

also /usr/lib/sendmail -bv alias doesn't show the expansion of aliases,
but emails a test message to that alias.

other than that postfix is very powerful, and has the ability to forward
outgoing as well as incoming messages to a specific mailbox.

 Oracle documentation is almost the last place you would want to go to
 learn about configuring sendmail.


 Thank you, yes, I agree.

  The best information available may be found on your system in the file
 /etc/mail/cf/README, which is provided by the sendmail package.


 I've used that file many times to look up what one or another stanza
 in a sample *.mc was supposed to do.  So, I agree.  Its good to know
 about. However, in 4311 lines there is not one concrete example of a
 sendmail.mc that user can take apart rearrange and etc.

 It turns out on oi, oi-hipster the setup is all rigged up in
 /etc/mail/cf/cf with makefiles that pull out the m4 tools for you.

 You just say `make sendmail.cf' after editing sendmail.mc

 Hi,

 did you considered postfix (as sendmail replacement)?
 It is much easier to configure and is present in OI and almost up to date:

 If you still want to use sendmail, please ignore me.

It appears the auth is not working... or at least that what it appears

If I then restart sendmail the message gets deferred here apparently

[OpenIndiana-discuss] [hipster] about the sendmail install

2014-10-14 Thread Harry Putnam
I've found that one of the macro *,m4 files normally found at
(/etc/mail/cf/feature/authinfo.m4).  Is not present in my hipster
installation nor is it present on an oi 151_a9 installation I have.

There has probably been some reason posted but I have not seen it.

Wondering if anyone can tell me why that is missing?

`pkg contents' clearly shows there is no authinfo.m4 present.

However downloading the sources of sendmail I see it does contain that
file.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?

2014-10-14 Thread Marion Hakanson
Greetings,

Today I installed the 31.2.0esr release of firefox, obtained here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/31.2.0esr/contrib/solar
is_pkgadd/firefox-31.2.0esr.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2

The system in question is running OpenIndiana oi151a7 (because it can
still play flash videos), 64-bit.

This version of firefox does not allow me to save downloaded files.  The
symptoms are that every download, or Save As action returns immediately,
and the Download window just shows Failed for the item.

I found via truss of the firefox process that it's logging some error
messages in my ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/downloads.json file:

UnixFile.read is not a function

When I start firefox in safe mode from the command line, the failed
download attempts log more details:

*
A coding exception was thrown and uncaught in a Task.

Full message: TypeError: UnixFile.read is not a function
Full stack: EXCEPTION_CONSTRUCTORS.TypeError@resource://gre/modules/osfile/osfi

I've reverted to the firefox-31.1.0esr build, and downloads are
working fine with that version.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox and newcomers

2014-10-14 Thread bentahyr
Hi,

I'm jumping in as the activity seems to increase after the bash bug lately and 
there's a will to organise things.

I see a lot of people requesting Firefox and other Mozilla softwares, just to 
to make sure everyone is aware that Mozilla still provides binaries for Solaris 
platforms :

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest-esr/contrib/

And they work very well with a9 (except the limited amount of plugins available 
especially the ad blockers).

Now as I've been using more and more a9 as a base I would like to know what 
is/would be the process to get involve in testing as you guys want to test 
things and to publish newer version of packages for various applications.

As I'm a console user, I have elinks, mutt and other standard tools like these 
in recent version recompiled with Sunstudio 12.3 as much as I can and I started 
to play with gcc 4.9.1 to some extend.

So yes... to sum up :
1 - If I want to provide some application in packaged form and submit them to 
OI, how should I do that ?
2 - If I want to help for testing things without moving to hipster how should 
I do that ? (vbox, zones)

As soon as there are clear process for these 2 things, it should be easier for 
people to jump in and contribute.

Best regards.
Ben

We have 24.8.1.

Good, that's a lot closer to current (32.4) than the 10.0.12 running
on OI 151_a9

ESR Mozilla releases are more important and thare is also working 
contributed build in /contribute dir under releases on ftp.mozilla.org, 
contributed by Oracle, that works (I put them into /opt/sfw/lib and ln 
-s program it to /opt/sfw/bin)


I do not recommend installing from clean install from Hipster ISO for 
any kind of semi-production or any use, but testing new freshly made 
packages, because it also breaks /dev updating from Openindiana
and Hipster ISOs serves no purpose but designating snapshot in Hipster, 
from lack of 'entire' releases.
Hipster also still does not have updatemanager and packagemanager GUI, 
and that is needed to be able to update and show updates to user 
automatically, as in /dev.


You actually need to include yourself in contribution on making sure 
/dev is exactly updatable to Hipster, and vice versa, because otherwise 
it could be never production ready, because Hipster is not meant to be 
so in the first place.

I'm familiar with the pkg cmdline but digging out specific stuff

Hi Harry,
GUI packagemanager and update manager were removed from upstream Oracle 
codebase and need maintaining to be included back.
Hipster pulled upstream changes and lost GUI tools this year, without 
actions on fixing issue or getting to maintain it. (and it was broken in 
Hipster from Hipster's day1, anyway)

Someone (aurelien larcher) posted it on Github:

https://github.com/alarcher/packagemanager


It is just a repository with EOLed files but at least it is somewhere.


So it could be first thing to do , Getting back Packagemanager and 
update manager back to working state.

But maybe even better then that, it would be better
to make connection between tested /dev releases and Hipster - in a way 
you exactly needed,
and that is updating from /dev with a chance of using new /dev in the 
future in line with existing ones.


Getting back update manager and Package manager is required for new /dev 
anyway.

See if you can include yourself on oi-dev mailing list.

2 tasks to resolve first are making sense of Hipster wild and crazy 
update model in line with tested and released model of /dev:


Making update from /dev to numbered versions of Hipster 'entire' to work 
(requires that Hipster soon get numbered entire versions)
Making updatemanager and packagemanager work (required to release next 
/dev out of it)


See if you can describe yourself on oi-NewDevs mailing list and also on 
[oi-dev] list.



As I'm a console user, I have elinks, mutt and other standard tools like these 
in recent version recompiled with Sunstudio 12.3 as much as I can and I started 
to play with gcc 4.9.1 to some extend.

So yes... to sum up :
1 - If I want to provide some application in packaged form and submit them to 
OI, how should I do that ?
2 - If I want to help for testing things without moving to hipster how should 
I do that ? (vbox, zones)

As soon as there are clear process for these 2 things, it should be easier for 
people to jump in and contribute.

OI currently has split-brain problem
where some people are forcing rolling release model, without versioning 
updates to it and no testing at all and no releases, but snapshots in 
form of Hipster ISO.


Other way around is to put your effort in making new /dev release that 
is stalled for a long time.


It requires aether changing Hipster to be more in line with updating 
from /dev and making new /dev out of it,
or cherry picking and/or making new project for making new /dev like 
Hipster project is,

only with more sane goals of actually have /dev releases.

You can _not_ move to Hipster anymore. It is locked by constant updates 
and for not caring to fix things in Hipster, that block updating. An for 
not caring of Hipster regarding any release cycle and creating 
distribution-making rules etc...


Yes, you are right, not having answers to those 2 question could be messy.

I suggest you take a look at the Openindiana Wiki, take a look where 
sources are , see what hardware capabilities you have and start building 
things yourself.
And then you can come back with more sane answer and put it in the wiki 
if you haven't already found it :)


I personally was under impression that someone else would pick up 
Hipster changes to make new /dev and that was why I was using Hipster 
for a year and was reporting bugs and showstoppers on IRC.
It proved that no one's there who can pick it up and make a new /dev 
by cherry-picking from it
and my testing effort was almost in vain, since there was no exact bug 
reporting and fixing procedure for Hipster.
As I understand now, insisting on Hipster model as it is now is almost 
complete waste of time.


Try to build package and publish it locally. Once you tested it, 
announce it on oi-dev mailing list and see from there.

There is also SFE (Spec Files Extra) project with a lot of packages, too.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?

Greetings,

Today I installed the 31.2.0esr release of firefox, obtained here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/31.2.0esr/contrib/solar
is_pkgadd/firefox-31.2.0esr.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2


I used Firefox 31.1.1 ESR till now (ad 28 ESR before) and it worked for me.
Haven't tried 31.2 yet, but will.


The system in question is running OpenIndiana oi151a7 (because it can
still play flash videos), 64-bit.

151a7 is still best OI release ever.
151a8 broke playing flash amongst other things and so on.
It is said OpenSXCE developer Martin Bochnig (mar...@martux.org) foud 
solution for Flash in it's latest distro release, but was unwilling to 
describe solution nor release the source, without money compensation
and someone _stupidly_ removed Martin's acces to this OI mailing 
list(s), without asking anyone but one pan asking him to, due to 
political reasons, so we are all at loss here.


Flash could be used if first you go to:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/  and then flash would 
temporarily work in a browser.



This version of firefox does not allow me to save downloaded files.  The
symptoms are that every download, or Save As action returns immediately,
and the Download window just shows Failed for the item.
You can try reporting bug to Ginn Chen (ginn.c...@oracle.com), that as I 
know is contributing Mozilla products builds, including Lightning calendar.

You can also try to ask for releasing source patches used.
Contributed builds used to require newest OracleStudio, that required 
paying support to get newest updates for compiler.
I am not sure but talked about moving to GCC for C++ issues, so you 
might  see it GCC is used now.


Not having /dev updates does not help the issue,
because it is hard (yet not impossible) to contribute external packages 
to moving target as Hipster,

it is much easier with /dev that is not moving in between releases.


I found via truss of the firefox process that it's logging some error
messages in my ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/downloads.json file:

UnixFile.read is not a function

When I start firefox in safe mode from the command line, the failed
download attempts log more details:

*
A coding exception was thrown and uncaught in a Task.

Full message: TypeError: UnixFile.read is not a function

I've reverted to the firefox-31.1.0esr build, and downloads are
working fine with that version.

Solaris 11 docs have a new style with Oracle Solaris 11 Information 
Library

And licensing for Oracle docs is also changed from Opensolaris days?
Like they are owned and controlled by Oracle and non- contributable and 
non-redistributable?

Yes, just like for most other IP Oracle owns in Solaris.
