Hi All, On behalf of the Nexenta project, I'd like to announce the availability of the Nexenta Core Platform 3.0 alpha1. This is the first release towards NCP3.0.
The main changes over NCP2 include: Move from Opensolaris build 104 to 124. ------------------------------------ >From this release of NCP, all sunw* packages are natively built on Nexenta. The complete sources are available in the repository, along with Sun Studio 12 and other tools to roll your own kernel. Moving to the latest bits provides Nexenta users with the latest opensolaris features, including better storage and networking functionality with ZFS enhancements and the integration of Crossbow. Many network and audio drivers have also been added in mainline opensolaris. [1] The nexenta-on-source package ----------------------------------- This release makes Nexenta's development more open. We have released our opensolaris gate, with patches and debian metadata at nexentastor.org [2] [3]. The nexenta-on-source package makes it very easy to build the opensolaris ON gate on NCP3 apt-get install nexenta-on-source cd /usr/src/nexenta-on-source && apt-satisfydepends dpkg-buildpackage -sa The above should build ON, create and populate a local repository with the newly built packages, allowing you to upgrade your machine. Upgrades are performed via apt-clone, so any b0rked upgrades can be rolled back from. We're writing up complete documentation. Please report any issues with building [4]. This is an alpha release, and a moving target until we reach the final release. It is in a good shape for developers to tinker with.. and we welcome community efforts to improve NCP3.
