[oi-dev] OI 'hipster' reboot effort

[ken mays]

Hello Andrzej,

Bumping oi-userland to userland s12-12.1 and the recent general updates for oi_151a8 (hipster) were excellent accomplishments.

Yet I'd like to toss over this info from my notes from the OpenSXCE project for further hipster minor updates and additions:

	* Bump illumos to ceba83929df4

	* Bump Java to 1.7u21
	* Bump Firefox to 17.0.5ESR
	* Bump Thunderbird to 17.0.5ESR
	* Bump oi-userland to userland-gate s12-22 (net-snmp, squid updates)
	* Nvidia 304.88 (CVE-2013-0131)

This will allow better field testing of the kernel userland and certain consolidations while providing a more qualitative OI-based release.

Hope that helped,
Ken Mays

Hi All

Seeing that the project is slowing down a bit, I have decided that I
will try to help it get some momentum back.

Firstly, if you rely on stable OI releases, Jon Tibble will carry on
producing traditional releases and they will be made available in the
/dev repo and as installable ISO/USB images. OI 151a8 should be out
real soon now.

/dev releases follow traditional Sun/Oracle releng process, which is
very time consuming. Mainly for that reason it may take a very long
time before any build system update will be reflected in the package
repository.

OI 'hipster' is trying to change the process by switching to a rolling
release model.

There is single top-level build repo on Github:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland. If you want to change
something or add new packages - simply send a pull request.

Changes to the build repo are automatically picked up by Jenkins
instance, packages are built and then published to the
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster repo. It is all set up and working
now.

http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster repo currently consists of /dev
contents + JT's /dev-test OI 151a8 bits + Milan Jurik's JDS work +
Jenkins built packages.

The plan is to improve what's out there incrementally. Eventually it
should be possible to build complete OS from the Github repo.

To use /hipster repo, install OI 151a7 and run (as root):

pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster openindiana.org
pkg update -v

Few people started submitting changes already. Thanks for that! If you
have something to be added or changed in the repo, simply send us pull
request.
