I was going to file a bug on defect.os.o so it doesn't get lost, but I don't see a website subcategory for content, only the software itself.
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/downloads - Under "Building OpenSolaris", just above "OpenSolaris Consolidations" it says: To build OpenSolaris from the source, you first need to install a suitable OpenSolaris distribution, which at this time is limited to the Solaris Express Community Release (above). (Doubly out of date, from before the SXCR->SXCE rename) Should probably be "limited to the OpenSolaris Developer Builds" for now, since building recent source versions requires post-2009.06 builds. http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/get - Under "Building from Sources": To build OpenSolaris from the source, you first need to install a suitable OpenSolaris distribution, which at this time is limited to the Solaris Express Community Edition. (Same comment as before about changing to Developer Builds.) http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/downloads/on - Under Step 3a, with link list repeated under Step 3b: A system installed with a suitable OpenSolaris distribution, which at this time is limited to Solaris Express: Community Release: * DVD Version [link to SXCE b125 DVD] * List of known issues [link to SXCE issues page] ... minimum build of Solaris Express, Community Edition required to build ON from source. ... GCC Compiler found in Solaris Express, Community Edition build 22 or later. (Same comment as before about changing to Developer Builds. Also, the mentions of BFU Archives here will be obsolete very very soon, due to ON's transition to native IPS builds.) http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Operating+System/Networking+%28ON%29+Download+Center - Seems to be a duplicate of http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/downloads/on http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/solex_cr_known_issues - "There are no known issues with installing SXCE." Lack of downloadable images is a major known issue preventing installation. 8-) http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/general_faq - "What is OpenSolaris?" subsection for SXCE: "NOTE: This release will be discontinued shortly." - "Will this OpenSolaris Operating System replace Solaris Express Community edition?" section: "Sun will discontinue Solaris Express Community Edition in the near future, but until that occurs OpenSolaris developers can still access the unsupported builds on the downloads page." -- -Alan Coopersmith- [email protected] Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
