[oi-dev] Looking back at the past 8 months...

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hello,
just a word, feeling very good when looking at this list:

https://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Migration+of+consolidations+to+oi-userland

and remembering that 8 months ago the number of items left to migrate
was 124 ... but it was three times as many components in total.

So to recap:

1) we -- ~99% Alexander ? ;p -- migrated the entire JDS consolidation
to oi-userland, and beyond \o/

2) we took care of most of the X11 consolidation, "almost" on par with
the S12_98 changeset of the Solaris X11 team but not quite :) This is
again an opportunity to thank them and especially Alan for his kind
support.

Adding all the JDS and X11 components we migrated something like 300
packages... maybe more since I recall rebasing 320+ commits just in my
X11 branch ... and this excludes components migrated by Alexander.

Also:
- Firefox was ported by Martin,
- Thunderbird, Pulseaudio, Git, PHP, Perl, Python, GCC, Clang,  plenty
o' Web+DB+Network software and more... were updated
- then MATE was integrated (!),
- and we even got "hipster" languages like Go :)

OpenIndiana is moving forward :)

There are still a few packages left on the list, mainly fonts and also
these input-methods packages if they are still any relevant..

If you fell like learning how to contribute to oi-userland and want to
help out: these font packages are very easy components, thus perfect
for getting started.
Also there is always a short-list of components in need of a small bump ;)

So that was it, just a happy message.
Kind regards

Aurélien
