IMHO this just means that the Solaris kernel has been recompiled, with some value added to the building process. I have yet to identify where is the value added to the kernel itself, it is still identified as SunOS 5.11 (c) 2010 In particular the support of newer hardware appears to be deficient.

Notice that Sun hasn't changed the signature from 'SunOS' to 'Solaris' when going forward from SunOS 2.4 some 20 years ago either. In particular the support of newer hardware appears to be deficient. Illumos is open-source, so if you think it should support a particular piece of hardware, feel free to pick up the DDI and write your own driver. Unfortunately unless you pay other people's paychecks, you can't really do much more than either politely request somebody write a driver (and accept when people have other things to do), or do it yourself.

Re: [oi-dev] new (minor) dependency issue in hipster repo
Have you got packages from publishers other than openindiana.org installed? Can you provide output of the command below? pkg list | grep -v -- i-- Cheers, Andrzej On 21 June 2013 00:50, Chad Cantwell c...@iomail.org wrote: Yes, I noticed a commit about an issue with the hipster repo that was said to be fixed before I ran across the issue.

Please also note that Oracle cannot use code changes contributed to Illumos and keep their source code hidden. The developers at Oracle have been told not to look at this project _at all_ because of this so improvements that happen in the Illumos kernel (Major ZFS changes including a major new compression algorithm, KVM host ability, etc) cannot go into the Solaris kernel. Any changes that happen to Solaris have to happen independently. Jon ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
