Hi Dan,

Actually, they have, although those weren’t a major upgrade.
Any chance of these drivers making it within the standard OmniOS Drivers 
packages ?

These seem to be in Oracle Solaris :

There is no TL;DR for this.  Please read all of this before you upgrade.

This is a big one.  I've updated install media AND the repo servers. Users who 
use "pkg update" will be getting a big wad (I'm not taking chances with missed 
packages or components).  I'm sorry it took longer than I expected, but there 
was an illumos-gate ZFS bug (5531) I wanted fixed before I released the next 
bloody update.

This is r151013-20150203:

- omnios-build master branch, revision 0c38601

- NEW UPDATE to pkg(5).  This carries a LOT with it, and gets its own section 
below.

- OpenSSL is now at 1.0.2.

- One bugfix to illumos-kvm-cmd that needed to be cherrypicked (because we 
can't catch up until VND is upstreamed from SmartOS).

- Longstanding bug with GCC 4.4.4's "cc1" not being properly linked. (Thanks 
Richard Yao of ZFS-on-Linux for catching this.)

- Curl is now at 7.40.0.

- NTP dependency fix, from the community. (Thanks to "takashiary".)

- Git is now at 2.2.1.

- ncurses have their auxiliary libs now in /usr/gnu/lib.  (Thanks to Lauri 
"lotheac" Tirkkonen.)

- illumos-omnios master branch, revision aef6850 (last illumos-gate merge 
6309835)

- Several ZFS enhancements, and sometimes followup fixes for them (one, 5531, 
was what made this release take longer than it should have).

- dis(1) supports cross-target disassembly  (Illumos 3317)

- NFS improvements in the authentication cache (Illumos 5509)

- Several ELF safety improvements from Rich Lowe.

- kmem_reap() performance improvements

- preadv() and pwritev()
 NOTE: KVM's poor handling of these (assuming all the world's Linux) is why we 
have a cherrypick above.

- illumos-side hwdata (PCI & USB) updates.  (NOTE: OmniOS keeps a copy in 
omnios-userland, that will be updated closer to 014's release).

- Developer prototypes updated to 2015

NEW FOR 2015 -- updated pkg(5)

You may have known this from previous bloody releases, but we've been using the 
same oldish version of pkg(5) since at least r151006 in OmniOS.  Bloody 
releases have had a half-finished pkg(5) that breaks things like "zoneadm -z 
 attach -u".  When a release came, we reverted to the old r151006 version 
of pkg(5).  That changes now.

If you're interested in source, our new repo for pkg(5) is 
http://github.com/omniti-labs/pkg5 or 
src.omniti.com<http://src.omniti.com>:~omnios/core/pkg5.  It's a downstream of 
OI Hipster's for now.

The OpenIndiana Hipster folks have done some work to bring pkg(5) more up to 
date with its upstream. The new pkg(5) contains many under-the-hood 
improvements. It also includes two user-visible improvements:

- A bit more visible status information during pkg(1) operations.

- T

[OmniOS-discuss] in.tftpd not working and how to fix it

2015-02-03 Thread Tobias Oetiker
caveat: due to the kvm performance problem I am still running 010
... but maybe this is also a problem on more recent versions ...

so here goes:

after upgrading to 010 the tftp service on our omnios box stopped
working properly ... it served a few bytes of the request and then
timed out ...

we investigated for a bit and then moved our tftp service to linux.

Today I ran into the problem again and found the solution:

on http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Installation there is:

 Activate TFTP server by adding the following line to
 /etc/inetd.conf and running the "inetconv" command. This will
 create an SMF service, network/tftp/udp6. Don't worry about the
 "udp6" bit-- it listens for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.

well as it turnes out, you actually SHOULD worry and use 'udp'
instead ... then all will work nicely (on ip4 at least).

cheers
tobi

NEW FOR 2015 -- updated pkg(5)

You may have known this from previous bloody releases, but we've been using the 
same oldish version of pkg(5) since at least r151006 in OmniOS.  Bloody 
releases have had a half-finished pkg(5) that breaks things like "zoneadm -z 
 attach -u".  When a release came, we reverted to the old r151006 version 
of pkg(5).  That changes now.

If you're interested in source, our new repo for pkg(5) is 
http://github.com/omniti-labs/pkg5 or src.omniti.com:~omnios/core/pkg5.  It's a 
downstream of OI Hipster's for now.

The OpenIndiana Hipster folks have done some work to bring pkg(5) more up to 
date with its upstream. The new pkg(5) contains many under-the-hood 
improvements. It also includes two user-visible improvements:

- A bit more visible status information during pkg(1) operations.

- The ability to link images.

Linked images is the big one.  Way upstream, linked images are the new default 
for ipkg-branded zones (i.e. the zones all OmniOS folks use). In OI Hipster, 
linked-images are currently disabled.  We decided to take a middle ground:


THE LINKED IPS BRAND (lipkg)

Currently deployed ipkg-branded zones stay the same as they have in previous 
OmniOS releases.  You update them how you're used to updating them:  Either the 
documented OmniOS way, or "Dan's way", where you mount the newly upgraded BE 
and then update each zone prior to reboot.

If you detach a zone:  (zoneadm -z  halt ; zoneadm -z  detach) you 
may change its brand the the new linked-ipkg (lipkg) brand.  The default for a 
new zone is still "ipkg", so if you want lipkg, you must explicitly "set 
brand=lipkg" in the zonecfg interaction or script.

How to convert an existing "ipkg" zone to an "lipkg" zone:

1.) Install the "lipkg" brand:  "pkg install lipkg".

2.) Halt and detach the zone.  "zoneadm -z  halt ; zoneadm -z  
detach"

3.) Change the zone's brand:  "zonecfg -z  set brand=lipkg".

4.) Attach the zone with the -u flag. pkg(5) needs to run its update check 
regardless:  "zoneadm -z  attach -u"

It has the latest illumos-gate versions of things as of two days ago.  Very 
recently (mid-January) we backported all mpt_sas stuff into 012 and 006.  So if 
you're updated to the latest 012, you won't have much new in mpt_sas.  ZFS, 
OTOH, has newness in it, and alas, not all of it is good (5531 has siblings, 
apparently).

Excellent!

I'll put it on my current project system and get you some feedback.

Of particular interest, were there any mpt_sas patches in there?

[OmniOS-discuss] FINALLY - OmniOS bloody is now updated. (long, please read)

2015-02-03 Thread Dan McDonald
There is no TL;DR for this.  Please read all of this before you upgrade.

This is a big one.  I've updated install media AND the repo servers. Users who 
use "pkg update" will be getting a big wad (I'm not taking chances with missed 
packages or components).  I'm sorry it took longer than I expected, but there 
was an illumos-gate ZFS bug (5531) I wanted fixed before I released the next 
bloody update.

This is r151013-20150203:

- omnios-build master branch, revision 0c38601

- NEW UPDATE to pkg(5).  This carries a LOT with it, and gets its own section 
below.

- OpenSSL is now at 1.0.2.

- One bugfix to illumos-kvm-cmd that needed to be cherrypicked (because we 
can't catch up until VND is upstreamed from SmartOS).

- Longstanding bug with GCC 4.4.4's "cc1" not being properly linked. (Thanks 
Richard Yao of ZFS-on-Linux for catching this.)

- Curl is now at 7.40.0.

- NTP dependency fix, from the community. (Thanks to "takashiary".)

- Git is now at 2.2.1.

- ncurses have their auxiliary libs now in /usr/gnu/lib.  (Thanks to Lauri 
"lotheac" Tirkkonen.)

- illumos-omnios master branch, revision aef6850 (last illumos-gate merge 
6309835)

- Several ZFS enhancements, and sometimes followup fixes for them (one, 5531, 
was what made this release take longer than it should have).

- dis(1) supports cross-target disassembly  (Illumos 3317)

- NFS improvements in the authentication cache (Illumos 5509)

- Several ELF safety improvements from Rich Lowe.

- kmem_reap() performance improvements

- preadv() and pwritev()
 NOTE: KVM's poor handling of these (assuming all the world's Linux) is why we 
have a cherrypick above.

- illumos-side hwdata (PCI & USB) updates.  (NOTE: OmniOS keeps a copy in 
omnios-userland, that will be updated closer to 014's release).

- Developer prototypes updated to 2015

- Introducing the linked-ipkg ("lipkg") zone brand.  See below about how this 
relates to the new pkg(5) changes.

- Reducing RAM used in managing ZFS cache devices

- Many new, corrected, and updated man pages.

- Longstanding mailx(1) overflow fixes now in place.


NEW FOR 2015 -- updated pkg(5)

You may have known this from previous bloody releases, but we've been using the 
same oldish version of pkg(5) since at least r151006 in OmniOS.  Bloody 
releases have had a half-finished pkg(5) that breaks things like "zoneadm -z 
 attach -u".  When a release came, we reverted to the old r151006 version 
of pkg(5).  That changes now.

If you're interested in source, our new repo for pkg(5) is 
http://github.com/omniti-labs/pkg5 or src.omniti.com:~omnios/core/pkg5.  It's a 
downstream of OI Hipster's for now.

The OpenIndiana Hipster folks have done some work to bring pkg(5) more up to 
date with its upstream. The new pkg(5) contains many under-the-hood 
improvements. It also includes two user-visible improvements:

- A bit more visible status information during pkg(1) operations.

- The ability to link images.

Linked images is the big one.  Way upstream, linked images are the new default 
for ipkg-branded zones (i.e. the zones all OmniOS folks use). In OI Hipster, 
linked-images are currently disabled.  We decided to take a middle ground:


THE LINKED IPS BRAND (lipkg)

Currently deployed ipkg-branded zones stay the same as they have in previous 
OmniOS releases.  You update them how you're used to updating them:  Either the 
documented OmniOS way, or "Dan's way", where you mount the newly upgraded BE 
and then update each zone prior to reboot.

If you detach a zone:  (zoneadm -z  halt ; zoneadm -z  detach) you 
may change its brand the the new linked-ipkg (lipkg) brand.  The default for a 
new zone is still "ipkg", so if you want lipkg, you must explicitly "set 
brand=lipkg" in the zonecfg interaction or script.

How to convert an existing "ipkg" zone to an "lipkg" zone:

1.) Install the "lipkg" brand:  "pkg install lipkg".

2.) Halt and detach the zone.  "zoneadm -z  halt ; zoneadm -z  
detach"

3.) Change the zone's brand:  "zonecfg -z  set brand=lipkg".

4.) Attach the zone with the -u flag. pkg(5) needs to run its update check 
regardless:  "zoneadm -z  attach -u".

5.) Boot the zone: "zoneadm -z  boot".

The zone 's image will be linked to the global zone's image.

Once you are running with lipkg zones, new things happen upon subsequent "pkg 
update"s.  Any packages in the global zone that get updated will also be 
updated in the lipkg zones at the same time.  This includes more than just the 
"omnios" publisher as well, which is why lipkg zones aren't for everyone.  If, 
like me, you tend to currently use the "Dan's way" of upgrading, lipkg zones 
will save you time.  "pkg update" where al

And netperf.  Thank you! That's one I may put into master (maybe after 014 
ships, maybe even FOR 014...).

[OmniOS-discuss] A few packages

2015-02-03 Thread sergey ivanov
Hi,
I've published today in
https://github.com/seriv/omnios-build/tree/cs.umd.edu a branch forked
from template with our build scripts for dovecot IMAP server with
pigeonhole Managesieve server and with compiled as a plugin ldap
authentication (linked against omniti-ms' openldap-client package).
Also updated versions of other packages there (mc, fail2ban...).
