I began with v9os<br>
installed on a Sun T2000. v9os is a SPARC distribution that uses IPS<br>
packages. I've been building IPS packages from oi-userland source.<br>
This process has gotten easier now that all the build tools I need are<br>
in IPS packages. I've been replacing v9os packages with oi-userland<br>
packages. My goal is to replace all of them, and finally to produce a<br>
text ISO and package repository for SPARC that's entirely based on<br>
oi-userland.<br>
<br>
So far, I've built and packaged versions 5, 6, and 7 of the gcc<br>
compiler. The commands for IPS packages are all packaged for python<br>
2.7. My system now has 106 packages installed from oi-userland,<br>
versus 343 packages from v9os. Most of the oi-userland products<br>
required very few or no changes to build and package for SPARC.<br>
<br>
For perl, I've removed the 5.16.1 version from v9os and installed<br>
versions 5.22 and 5.24 from oi-userland. Likewise, for python, I've<br>
removed 2.6 and installed 2.7 and 3.4. Perl libraries are all<br>
packaged for 5.22. Python libraries are all packaged for 2.7.<br>
<br>
I'm submitting this message to the mailing list mostly as a progress<br>
report. I would, of course, appreciate a bit of help with this<br>
project.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Congratulations Gary this is great :)</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">If we get to the point that we can setup a build machine this would secure your work.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Kind regards</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">Aurélien<br></div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
