[osol-discuss] SXCE Build 119 available - PLEASE READ
All, Since we skipped SXCE build 118 we did not want to skip SXCE build 119 as well -- however -- there is a serious ZFS bug in b119 detailed below, which was fixed in SXCE build 120, so we would strongly encourage you to wait for that release, unless you need run SXCE Build 119 for testing. The issues to note are: CR 6860318 - truncate() on zfsroot succeeds when file has a component of its path set without access permission A fresh install of 119 on a ZFS root will result in a large number of directories having this problem baked in. Therefore, IF YOU NEED TO INSTALL FROM SCRATCH WITH A ZFS ROOT, SKIP NV_119. If you wish to continue installing Build 119 please read the following page for additional information. http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/build119_fixes/ - Additionally, CR 6861646 - nwamd terminates prematurely in snv_119 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6861646 CR 6861767 - non-USB mice and keyboards not usable in Xorg after installing nvx_119 http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6861767 As a reminder, SXCE is FOR NON-PRODUCTION USE ONLY, and is meant for the sole purpose of evaluation in a test environment. --- With all that out of the way, please find the links to SXCE Build 119 at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/ This is still a DVD only release. - wget work around: http://wikis.sun.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=28448383 --- Changelogs: ON (The kernel, drivers, and core utilities): http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b119/on-changelog-b119.html X Window System: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/x_win/changelogs/changelogs-nv_110/ --- Checksums 7d2a56b999daffe1c710f9e4307e54d2 sol-nv-b119-x86-dvd.iso 89a89eb6d67e3166ab32fdd05b380b22 sol-nv-b119-x86-dvd-iso-a c643b2a6e545bb35f823cfdbf266d98f sol-nv-b119-x86-dvd-iso-b 44ab68ec1468385bedbc74297efef45e sol-nv-b119-x86-dvd-iso-b.zip c5f86d85cd713d4a7e4c490f96a365d3 sol-nv-b119-x86-dvd-iso-a.zip cd1fbb96ee55e9c2dc5888dacc210c7a sol-nv-b119-sparc-dvd.iso 0f1f98ba01052b1bd489ff00f6e2b647 sol-nv-b119-sparc-dvd-iso-a 31d5a4474220b16d85dcc5e3f3825ba4 sol-nv-b119-sparc-dvd-iso-b db53f222ebabb670ffec92e00dee80cb sol-nv-b119-sparc-dvd-iso-b.zip 46a196afa6d7c685de65dd9ab29785f6 sol-nv-b119-sparc-dvd-iso-a.zip - Derek ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Wealth of U.S.A. Plundered by Jews -- The Holocaust is Now Catholic Dogma -- Why No Neocon Assassinations?
Wealth of U.S.A. Plundered by Jews Thursday, 05 February 2009 By Texe Marrs It's all over the media, how one Wall Street crook, Bernie Madoff, masterminded the greatest Ponzi scheme in history. Bernie ripped off investors to the tune of $50 billion, and they're still counting. Fifty billion! That's more than the current market value of General Motors, Disney, Boeing, and Anheuser-Busch combined. And just one solitary individuala corrupt, money-grabbing Jew named Madoffis the culprit. But, wait...hold on. Is this one crime the whole picture, the full extent of Wall Street's monumental scam and robbery extravaganza? Not by a long shot! Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus Citibank's Jewish money-shovelers stole some $200 billionand then got the idiots at the U.S. Treasury to dole out some $160 billion of ourthe suffering taxpayershard-earned money into their coffers. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus and his name is Uncle Sam. America's banking industry is exclusively Jewish-run. The same goes for Wall Street brokerage and investment houses. Investigate for yourself and you'll discover that the New York-Chicago money crowd is nearly 100 percent Jews. They're the onesthese bamboozling and crafty, satanic Jewswho greedily have broken the backs of millions of bedraggled and unsuspecting American workers through their unparalleled lust for filthy lucre. Jesus told us this would be the case. He warned us in advance. He gave the Jews a choice: God or Mammon. They chose Mammon (i.e., money) and then added icing to their cake on earth by torturing, mocking, then finally nailing our Lord and Savior to a wooden cross. Oh, excuse me. The Jews didn't do it themselves. They never do. They got the Romans to do their dirty work. Pilate at first refused, until the Jews made it clear to the Roman Governor he better do their bidding, or else. Like today's miserly and cowardly politicians, Pilate caved in. Crucified on a Cross of Gold Now, it's America's turn to be crucified, on a cross of Jewish-owned gold. The Jews of Wall Street are the perps of this crucifixion. They run Wall Street, have their grimy hands all over our U.S. Treasury, force Congress to bow down and worship their murderous idol, Israel, and then lie and cast blame elsewhere. Now Bernie Madoff, former chairman of the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, is only one of thousands of money manipulating Jewish thugs running loose in these 50 statesand they all have Gentile lackeys kissing their feet and mopping floors for themmen like George W. (McMoron) Bush, Bill (Bimbo) Clinton, and Vice President Joe (Big Mouth Clown) Biden, just to name a few. But consider the damage that this one scheming Jew, Madoff, did and multiply that times, say, 100,000. Writing in the Business section of the Austin American-Statesman (December 28, 2008), news reporter Scott Burns commented on the Madoff robbery: The loss is mind-boggling...One way to measure the extent of the damage is to compare the $50 billion to measures of loss in the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. In 2007 there were 9.8 million crimes against property in the United States. This included about 2.2 million burglaries, 6.6 million thefts, and 1.1 million car thefts. I think you'll agree that 9.8 million crimes represent a veritable army of miscreants. In spite of that, our total losses to such property crimes in 2007 throughout the entire United States were a mere $17.6 billion... But when you add up all the losses in 9.8 million common property crimes, it's just a fraction of the estimated $50 billion loss attributed to Madoff. Jews Also Behind the Most Inhumane, Bloody Crime in History Think of it. One evil Jew, Madoff, made off with a staggering total equal to somewhere near the losses of about 30 million crimes. There's more, of course. It's not just the money. The Jews are also behind the most sinister and bloody inhuman crime ever committed in the annals of human historythe Soviet Communist Holocaust. The late Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the 20th century's most acclaimed literary figure and historian, reported in his final book, Two Hundred Years Together, that the Jews were the revolutionary conspirators and mass murderers responsible for the Communist holocaust in which a mind-warping 66 million innocent victims were tortured, imprisoned in filthy, gruesome gulag camps and, finally, unmercifully executed. Lenin, Trotsky, Kaganovichall these Communist monsters were Jews and their talmudic goal was a global Communist Utopia, led, of course, exclusively by Zionist Jews. Allegedlyand I use that word advisedlythe Jews accuse Hitler and his Nazis of the murder of six million in the misnamed German holocaust. Modern-day researchers, however, are discovering that this figure, six million, is grossly exaggerated so that Jews can appear as victims and thus continue incessantly to demand money and reparations from a clueless and guilt-filled Gentile world.

No ETA. Derek I get the feeling that most folks inside of Sun use the internal build servers never deal with this stuff, so maybe no one is paying attention. I agree completely with Bruno, getting the distribution out there properly is a showstopper. Agreed. Its unprofessional and makes Sun look like amateur hour.

Re: [osol-discuss] [website-discuss] Changelog SXCE?
I included the links for ON and JDS in the 83 release announcement, which I just sent, but it sounds like to do this right we need someone to write up the highlights for each release. I know Dan Price[1] was doing that for a while, but it was a lot of work. If someone wants to volunteer to write it up I can coordinate with that person before I send out the announcement. Derek [1] http://blogs.sun.com/dp/date/20041028#what_s_new_in_solaris1 Brian Cameron wrote: Uwe/Alan/Derek: JDS Desktop (GNOME/Firefox/etc.): Mailed to desktop-discuss - don't see an easy way to find other than searching their archives, and I only see them for the vermillion branch, not the nevada one delivered into SXCE. The ChangeLog's that the JDS team submits, as Alan mentions, relates to the development (Vermillion) branch. This development branch corresponds to the current GNOME community development branch. Since the SXDE/SXCE release schedule and the GNOME release schedule are not aligned, and because there is some lag-time due to ARC (and other processes needed to integrate into Nevada), the JDS team has not always been able to update each SXCE/SXDE release with a new GNOME release. Therefore, I would say that the JDS changelog information posted to desktop-discuss would be difficult to refactor into SXDE/SXCE release notes. It might be nice to check if SXDE/SXCE does include a new release of GNOME. If so, it would be good to point to the latest GNOME community release notes to highlight the new GNOME features. For example, here is the 2.20 release notes: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ There probably should be a disclaimer that Sun GNOME does not follow the GNOME community 100%. For example, Solaris does not ship any Mono based applications, nor do we ship Epiphany (the GNOME web browser). So some information in the community release notes may not apply to Solaris. However, I'd say 95% of what is in the typical GNOME release notes does apply. Likewise, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. have similar notes for their releases on their websites. I would suggest it might be better to just refer to these, rather than to try and reinvent the wheel.

No, I would not want the gory details, but major updates of software as well as a summary of relevant patches of bugs would help all sides, including the developers. Knowing that said version nv_xy finally allows to use Rhythmbox or has a completely new printer-configuration-applet or patched the integration of apache, respectively added driver for RTL0987 and support for WPA2 would increase the efficiency very much: all the rest of us (2%?) out there, 'community', would know what to look for, and maybe even test those. Even the insiders might be helped; I can't imagine that the bi-weekly releases are published without documented changelog, objective, deadlines, intentions; just blindly gobbled together? See, so why not adding a summary to the release announcement? It would be great to do, but I don't know who would do that - the website team maybe? I can certainly add links to the changelogs in the mail that gets sent out. Or is the idea to highlight the most important bits?

The idea was to make the home page reflect what the majority of users want do, which is download the OS and perhaps some 'getting started' type documentation. The page would have links to the the developer site, blogs and other places of interest but it would be very streamlined and focused on downloading, similar to Firefox or Fedora. Derek At least this is what I had in mind when I initially proposed a new user facing website as a summit topic. -Brian On 11/4/07, Jim Grisanzio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Derek Cicero wrote: As I mentioned at the summit and on the website-discuss list, once this project gets out of the 'preview' phase we'll probably move the OpenSolaris distro to a separate mini-site on os.org and revert the old /os/ home page back.

Is there something special about Sun's distro, that gives it the right to sit on the homepage? Is it more functional than the other distros? More complete? More stable? Or is it that it's just because it is a Sun distro that Sun is implicitly buying advertising space on the homepage? (And usurping the community's name for it's distro in the process). The point is that each distro has the right and ability to create and control their own site. We never said os.org would be the distrowatch for all OpenSolaris-related releases. As it stands we've placed all the distros on the Downloads page together.

We are aware of the spreading problem of the java.lang.NullPointerException in the Jive forums. It started with one forum and seems to be happening in about 10-15 now. Gary is trying to find a fix to at least get the the forums to display correctly again. He is also looking into upgrading Jive to latest version to see if that alleviates a number of other issues we have been having with the forums. If we can't get the forums into a reasonable state after the upgrade we will look into removing Jive from site completely and finding a lightweight replacement to allow users to view and search the mail archives as well as provide a posting facility for registered users.
