[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster upgrade problem

[the out-sider]

I can host the wiki if people want. 

Main concerns:
1. who will be responsible for the editing?
2. how to guard the correctness of the articles?

thanks :)

tutorial starting wirh preparing a packaging zone, downloading a tgz package
from a source repository (e. g. latest tomcat) over creating IPS metadata to
packaging and lastly delivering to the maintainers placed on the wiki. There
was one for SFE I remember being fairly complex - but we'd need this for dev
with the minimum number of steps just to upgrade an existing package... or
is this already available somewhere on the net?

Yes, for the SFE part, it has been sitting on the mediawiki of pkgbuild. The
Wiki Source files are still in a safe place (my ZFS disk :) but I got mad of
waiting on the sourceforge hosted  mediawiki install getting hacked after a
day.

So if someone has an idea on converting mediawiki pages to a modern wiki,
please let me know very soon, that would help a lot.


Getting a SFE build environment is either by a running a single script
called bootstrap-sfe*, or, the already mentioned longer step guide from the
wiki. But that guide is currently locked in the offline mediawiki pages.

If at least two people raise hands, I'll put up a draft page somewhere which
describes the usage of the boostrap-sfe-* script. Then the build-recipes
form the SFE repository can be built locally. Those recipes usually run on
OpenIndiana OI151a[89], Hipster, Solaris 11 (12), OmniOS.
And the LibreOffice for Hipster and Solaris 11 is built from this stack.

Regards,
Thomas
