Re: [oi-dev] diagnose touchpad
Is USB legacy support mode enabled in the firmware of the new notebook?
I suspect PS/2 port is not being emulated. Just a thought.

Re: [oi-dev] Some packages did not build anymore in userland
Doesn't Mate desktop depend on Gnome which depends on glib which depends on libelf? We are seeing the effects of complexity out of control. Time to simplify and prioritize. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] Fatal error executing "make download" in oi-userland/cpmponents
Howdy, Welcome to the club. ;-) It was not your fault. I don't know what splix is or does but the one downloaded has a sha256 mismatch with the one in its package manifest file. It would be easier to just download the pre-compiled packages from the OpenIndiana repository rather than building them yourself in the beginning. In a Unix shell at the command line type something like man pkg or pkg5. Use it to download packages from the main repo or other repos. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] Porting an exFAT driver
Microsoft's exFAT is not royalty-free. Distributers of devices pay Microsoft. Microsoft still owns submarine patents on exFAT. We old-timers have been down that road before. It is true Microsoft published the specification in 2019 and SDXC flash device organization standardizes on it. It would be better to support FAT+ draft 2. (See Wikipedia on FAT ref. 34). FAT+ simply uses 38 bits for file size so up to 256 GiB is supported. The existing PCFS should be modified to at least be FAT+ aware. DR-DOS and FDOS support FAT+. Neither exFAT nor FAT+ provide journaling. Microsoft's patents expired on FAT32 and VFAT Long File Names. That is why exFAT 64 bit file size support now exists. Just a useless waste of resources.

Re: [oi-dev] gstreamer1 and OpenGL/EGL
I object to including codecs that cannot be used by all end users on the desktop PC. Servers are a different category because their operators can afford to pay for their own business policy. I used to monitor gstreamer changes until about four years ago. They were dropping Sun Au container and Dirac video codec and CELT audio codec. In my opinion, their other codecs and containers are a waste of time without specialized hardware implementations. Do what you want for OI. I am building my own system. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] Something wrong with dependancies
Python dependencies can be compared online amongst distros. Compare OI Python v3.9 against Debian or Raspberry Pi's Linux which is heavily Python centric. The OI py-test dependencies you listed look reasonable. Notice the py-zipp v3.5 is unique, indicating it is the last minor change. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] OI Foundation
Might I suggest the OpenSolaris brand that Oracle seems to be exterminating. The fact people cannot use the brand Unix to identify a Linux distro further isolates the spread of Unix. FreeBSD and OpenSolaris derivatives are essentially the only Unix systems. MacOS is from FreeBSD but it is not popularized as a Unix. OpenSolaris is the origin of OI and Illumos. Illumos Foundation surprisingly does not exist. The purpose of a Foundation is to enable unifying support for a brand product. The first step is owning the brand name for products. Project OpenIndiana is not a brand name that makes sense. I still see no connection to Indiana. When the general public thinks of Ada, it is not the computer language but a group of dentists. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] Is it possible for OpenIndiana and DilOS to cooperate together?
List of Illumos distros at Illumos.org I remember Tribblix has Enlightenment GUI available. Build your own distro. Others have, and do. You can start with OI and add your preferred package manager. You don't have to use IPS for everything. Some people use OI for a server without a GUI. More likely people use OI with Mate GUI to avoid Windows or Linux. ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
Re: [oi-dev] OI Hipster 2018.10 snapshot
The USB files should be compressed for downloads to save gigabytes of
bandwidth. On an individual basis it amounts to hundreds of megabytes and
time saved for each person downloading. I am not interested in arguments
about which compression alg. to use because currently there is NO
COMPRESSION. Obviously compress them to save time for the people that
download these files, and for the people that extract the contents. Zip's
alg. are good enough and Zip is faster than bzip or lzma variants. Use
gzip if you want. Something is better than nothing.

[oi-dev] Please Zip compress the USB downloads from OI
Yesterday I downloaded the minimal USB. I am in USA, not Europe or Asia, so I did not choose an alternative mirror for the download. Average speed was modem circa 1990 around 56 Kb/s. It took almost 3 hours. Okay, if that is how it is now. The problem is, out of curiousity, I compressed the downloaded minimal USB file 25% using Zip. Similar savings result for the 2 GiB Live USB down to 1.6 GiB. It would be great if OI stopped releasing separate USB images from now on anyhow. I recall that Toomas in April was building a hybrid ISO for USB. Can we just go forward with that solution, compressed of course? Thanks for your work. -- John ___ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
