I know it boots and runs on new Xeon-D chips (though it does not yet support 
those chips' X550 10GigE).

I *suspect* the answer is yes, but I have no Skylake machines handy to 
confirm/deny for certain.

Well x86 and x86_64 are backward compatible, they should always work with older 
version of the operating system, as long as the devices are compatible with the 
drivers provided. I guess you would have no problems running even XP on it...

No additional specific feature of Skylake will however be available, like the 
advanced power saving and processor-managed speedstep.

[OmniOS-discuss] New bloody (IPS only this time)

2016-02-12 Thread Dan McDonald
Based on illumos-omnios master commit cc70d5b, uname -v reports 
"omnios-cc70d5b".

And omnios-build master commit 45f0d7b.

New with this update:

- Case-sensitivity now in ZFS test suite.

- GLDv3 improvement (by OmniTI's own Dale Ghent) which should produce less 
confusing dladm(1M) output.

- SunSSH and sudo now honor the illumos-bug-6057 ways of doing things.  Please 
PLEASE look for other "last login" weirdness, but there shouldn't be any.  If 
there is, PLEASE report it to this list ASAP.

- Speaking of SSH, OpenSSH now includes the full wad of Joyent work (modulo 1-2 
small differences) to be more of a SunSSH replacement.  If you haven't tried 
OpenSSH because you needed something from SunSSH, PLEASE try it now.


There is no new release media for this update, but I did update all of the 
packages, so you'll need to create a new BE and reboot.

Thanks,
Dan
