[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSXCE/SPARC: It was a mistake to keep the site online.

2014-09-14 Thread Martin Bochnig
It was a mistake to keep the site online.


Cordial thanks nevertheless to the few fellows, who have proven to be
true friends.



And although I wanted to publish the src long ago (and in fact did
contribute openly [in real-time openly] from 2005 till 2009), now
that's the final nail in the coffin.


p.s. to Nikola: You stated long ago, that you are not a coder, so what
are your plans with the src?

Furthermore it is nonsense what you write about the CDDL terms. The
CDDL permits the developer to keep the src closed, similar to the Xorg
license.

For this reason the exact opposite of what Mr. Nikola wrote.

He is a person who never ever did _anything_ for OpenSXCE, SPARC nor
for myself. What gives him the riht to place demand after demand after
demand???



I saw a number of folks throw around with their "plans" and technical terms.

It is almost funny.


The most ridiculous part was with the alldged "Putin-backdoor" which
one smart person (from Poland?) expects to be hidden in OpenSXCE.


For such blind idiots I no longer waste my time.

Also sad, that only a friend pointed out that OpenSXCE was until today
also available for x86/x64.

Even with native Intel gfx support via DRM/GEM

Plus with native support for the final Adobe Flash plugin (no loading
order workaround nor anything else LD* related).


I bet a million that there will never be any distro coming only
remotely close to OpenSXCE.

###  WHAT's NEW in 2014.05 x86/x64 Intel32/64 AMD32/64:




http://svr4.opensxce.org/201405/i386/DVD/

http://svr4.opensxce.org/201405/i386/USB__MinimumBase__UNTESTED/
http://svr4.opensxce.org/201405/i386/5.11/


Many bugs already fixed, see @BUGS

Zones now supported (brand: SUNWsvr4pkgutil)
Adobe flash-player plugin 11.x works
FF29, TB29, Evolution works now, emacs now ok
NVIDIA drivers included on x86
COMPIZ now included on x86, only works with NVIDIA at this time

OS/Net: Illumos checkout 20140505

all ZFS compression types now supported

Now additionally pre-installed onto LiveDVD/USB: Driver utility,
Evolution, Emacs, FF29, TB29, Rich Lowe's gcc 444   etc ...


I decided to finally ship the long promised  Intel  DRM/GEM/KMS port,
although it is still limited and broken at this moment.
All KMS-only Intel ddx'es (all the way from 2.10 to 2.22.910 / 3.0RC)
do manage to negotiate GEM and KMS and come up into a typical "-retro"
X11 root-window, but then get lost in an indefinite loop of pollsys()
/ ioctl(). The X11 server never gets to the point where it accepts any
connections.

Therefore OpenSXCE uses the one of OpenBSD5.3's Xenocara, which is
mistakenly sometimes referred to as the "last UMS-capable" driver,
which is nonsense. While it still contains Mathhieu Herrb's UMS
backports for older chipsets, new hardware requires KMS to be present,
anyway in the 2010/2011 state of development. Also it requires at
least a lot more of GEM support, than the DRM/GEM code included in
OS/Net 147 (and hence Illumos) had.

To test this, the easiest is to remove /dev/dri/card0, and then see
which error messages you get  ;-)


Whatever, on Sandy and higher I enabled DRI2 for this release, as
demonstration. glxgears (which needs  AIGLX and not DRI2) works fine.
xdriinfo and glxinfo also confirm, that DRI2 is up and running on
Sandy (as indicated by Xorg.0.log), but as soon as you want to start
compiz, it segfaults and you end up in text mode (if enabled, gdm
screen).

Whatever, I think this provides a huge improvement over everything
else in the Illumos distro-space.
Benefits over vesa include power management/suspend (maybe nice for
Note-/Netbooks), also support of higher resolutions and higher refresh
frequencies.


After I noticed, that FF29 kills gnome-session every so and so mintes,
they question is now, if I downgrade FF to 26 (from the then planned
2014.01) or down to 21. FF21 is old but known to work. FF26 still had
the old FF UI but I never tested it days long. Compromise: I
downg

Well, for me it is mistake to mix up technology with politics. I respects
the right of having opinion (everybody has it right?) but I strongly belive
that it should be separate from technology blog where expectation was to
find technical data about the distro..

Well, if you decide to drop the project thats your call..

We(me?)(the "idiots") will find other way..

Yes.
Only discriminating people for their political views (that they express, 
beside talking on topic subjects) would be also unacceptable. (Beside we 
generally don't want other politics then software ones).


If someone discuss something about technology, then adds at the end of 
he's message something else in signature or something, it could not be 
considered whole message off topic.

It was practice in ancient Rome it is still merely normal.

This is precisely the point, and backed up by the evidence thus far. 
It's also the reason why mailing lists and forums, generally, /have some

condescending remarks about supposed childish behaviour are conveniently

Too much for an operating system technical discussion.   How sad OI has 
devolved into this.

Theo was removed from his commit privileges to NetBSD for being rude to other 
developers and users, yet OI won't remove someone from a mailing list for 
irrational behavior?

saying something in the heat of the moment by email.

"jack" was then immediately blocked from the Facebook page by "jill".
"jill" stated that it was for the good of the group that that person be
eliminated.

Someone else stood up for "jack" saying that it was in the heat of the
moment and that if they both calmed down and talked to each other that
everyone would see sense.

"jill" then blocked them.

Another person then blocked "jill" to stop her blocking people who
disagreed with her.  That person was then blocked by someone who felt that
"jill" was possibly right.

"jill" at this point had validation that she was right.

Another person tried to side with "jack", and then things got screwy.

both teams found a person with the ability to block and started blocking
people, _in_case_ they took sides.

Overnight the church was in uproar, including people who never went on
facebook, and some who didn't even know what it was.

It fell to the vicar to pull "jack" and "jill" into an office and tell them
the facts straight.

everyone was given access again, and at the end of it, the only thing that
was certain was that no one could trust any of the people who had blocked
others to have the ability to block others in future.

do what has been suggested, if you don't want to see emails from a person,
and filter them.

do stop adding to this discussion ... the one with the inflammatory subject
from Martin.

Please stop saying that a community is damaged because it either does, or
doesn't block someone from it's list.

Remember that all people are different we don't all think the same way ...
if all great minds think alike then how do we create new ideas?

There will always be disagreements, working out how to get through them is
the important thing ... sometimes that means just letting things slide.

Don't confuse neglect and lack of an active owner for someone consciously
deciding to continue the status quo.   Is there anyone around who still
actively manages these lists?

No reply via the contact address for the nominal list owner at this 
stage at least.

Thanks Jonathan. You are absolutely right. Use your mailfilter! Can someone 
hating Martins posts please explain to me why they DO NOT USE THIS FILTER? It 
might be manhunting after all?

What thread? You are inventing someting? This thread?

As I understand this blatant thread started when you misinterpreted
asking not to talk about world politics in general,
with call for killing people's ability to post to this list if they do.
And those are definitively 2 different things.

One is positive and thoughtful, yours is just negative.
So you got it wrong, it is your who just invented bashing people for 
posting.
