I think it’s time to thank all the members of the community, all the developers at Sun Microsystems (Yes, don’t ask!) and all the software porters for the great work they all did in the last years.

We don’t know about the future of OpenSolaris – and I have to say, I don’t really trust the “announcement” so far. Let’s hope for an^H or^H^Hmiracle.

OpenSolaris

Momentan kämpfe ich mit verschiedenen Perl-Modulen auf einer OpenSolaris Box (snv_111b, also 2009/05) und um Euch meine Kopfschmerzen zu ersparen, hier mein Spickzettel:

Vorbereitung:
pfexec pkg install ss-dev
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/
pfexec rm /usr/gnu/bin/cc
pfexec ln -s /opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/cc /usr/gnu/bin/cc

Pakete aus CPAN installieren:
perl -MCPAN -e "install <Paket>"

Für’s Protokoll: ich habe keine Ahnung von perl oder CPAN. Alles was hier steht ist potentiell ganz großer Mist. Für Kommentare bin ich jetzt schon dankbar.

CPAN, OpenSolaris, perl

Do you have Problems installing Adblock+ on OpenSolaris 2009/05?

The solution is quite simple. You just have to do some SSL-magic.
Quote from the changelog:

Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey builds from some Linux distributions (not the official builds however) will refuse to install Adblock Plus with the message: “Signing could not be verified”. Solution: update “nss” package to the latest version available for your distribution. If that doesn’t help, view certificates in the encryption/certificates tab of the options, select “StartCom Certification Authority” under “Authorities” and click “Edit”. Make sure “This certificate can identify software makers” is checked and click OK.

Marcel hat eine sehr schöne Erklärung geschrieben, wie man mit der Service Management Facility (kurz SMF) im Alltag umgeht.

Lesenswert! (Die Warnung wegen SSL ist leider normal.)

OpenSolaris, Systemhelden

Gestern stand ich mit @cpzengel für sysops.tv vor der Kamera:

The OpenSolaris development package repository

http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/

has been updated to reflect the changes up to and including snv_134 for both x86/x64 and SPARC platforms. This update includes fixes to the Caiman “Slim Install” and the Image Packaging System (IPS).
[...]
Starting with build 133, almost all packages in the development package repository have been renamed with hierarchical smf(5)-style names. For general information on the the format of package names, see the pkg(5) manual page.
[...]
Users who wish to update their system to the development build can do so by setting their preferred publisher to the above URL and using the “image-update” facility provided by the pkg(1) command or by the “Update All” facility of the Package Manager GUI.
