Just as a follow-up, Laca committed the SFEpyqt spec file into the SFE
repository. Some of the "configure" and "Makefile" braindeath was fixed
upstream.

If not this release, then the next one should ship with the Python bindings
to Qt.

Here is some nice input from Alexander (creator of Milax, the distro
delivers a OpenSolaris based LiveCD in 70mb iso) for use in Belenix.
Using torsmo monitor one can have system monitor information displayed
on the corner of the desktop in a neat manner.
Conky is the derivative of torsmo. Torsmo is no longer actively maintained.

See these links for illustration:

Thanks Alexander, we'll check it out.

Hi, Shiv,
 may be it's interesting for belenix.
 I wrote some kstat functions for torsmo monitor.
 Now it working on MilaX and showing memory, fs, processes, netstat.
 (works great with fluxbox and jwm, with gnome - blinking, don't know
 about xfce).
 I send my code to conky developers but I think they are not very
 interested to support Solaris for conky.
 May be some code cleanup and improvement needed.

 Regards,
 Alexander R. Eremin

The uploading of the file to sf.net failed because of which there is
currently a 0 bytes size file there. Go ahead and use it as a place
holder.
There seems to be some issue with sf.net upload that people have
already logged issues requests. I will fix it once upload works again.

Hi Shiv,
        Here is the new tar ball with some modifications.
* Changed the torsmorc alignment to bottom_right
* torsmo will look into $HOME/.torsmorc, if file doesnt exist it would look
into /etc/torsmorc for config file.

I have put the SFEtorsmo.spec file is in pkgbuild.sf.net

thanks,
Pradhap.D

* startgui doesn't work properly - It always starts only xfce. I see a "echo
1" at the end of /usr/bin/startgui that overrides the user's selection.
This, I persume is the reason.

* sudo whines because default installation and live cd have wrong gid on
/etc/sudoers. Should be root:root . Not root:sys

* If someone runs gui-install from the command line, it exits silently.
Well, it logs "BeleniX 0.7 installer should be run as root. Quitting" in
/tmp/gui-install.log. But who would truss and look there ?
But this is not high priority considering there is a desktop icon that does
the right thing.

Been testing it for a couple of days now. Everything else seems to works
fine.

To: install-discuss at opensolaris.org


The Indiana DP2 liveCD worked a treat on my MacBook, but trying to run
the installer failed.  I saw a series of errors in the debug log in
/tmp around not being able to get geometries, so I tried the
workaround listed in 6413235 (which was for SXCE, but I thought they
might still be applicable).

 Still no dice...

 Anyone know if it's possible for the Indiana installer to install to
a partition (not the whole drive since I can't blow away OSX) on a
MacBook?

Message-ID: <319ee2b10804142345m77bdd6f1jba738032526a607d@mail.gmail.com>

Dello All,

After a long gap and lots of things happening behind the scenes,
we are pleased to announce the availability of BeleniX 0.7. This
release marks a considerable change in the evolution of BeleniX.

With 0.7, BeleniX is now a source level derivative of Project Indiana.
As such it has most of the Indiana features except for Image
Packaging which is still in the works. V0.7 is installable to the
harddisk and supports ZFS root.

Following are the highlights of the release:
* Re-branded Caiman Installer installs BeleniX to ZFS root.
* The Distro Constructor is adapted as the BeleniX Constructor.
* Fully packaged. All software in BeleniX are delivered via SVR4
  packages unlike the previous releases.

* BeleniX now includes the full 64Bit Kernel and libraries. The
  LiveCD is still 32Bit, but the 64Bit kernel is booted on 64Bit
  CPUs after installation to harddisk.

* Properly integrated and themed KDE 3.5.8. BeleniX now includes
  the K Display Manager SMF service which comes up by default
  while booting from harddisk. People familiar with the legacy DTlogin
  will welcome its ability to drop down to Console Login unlike GDM
  and the seamless desktop login (again unlike GDM!).

* Synced up with ON Build 81.
* 0.7 Includes packages from various other OpenSolaris consolidations:
  Fully Open X, SFWNV, JDS, NWS, Docs (man pages), Developer
  Product Tools etc. BeleniX includes some 650+ software packages
  in the LiveCD with more via a separate download.

* Additional software can be downloaded via the /usr/bin/get-pkgs
  utility.
  Please see the Release Notes for more details. This is a temporary
  measure till BeleniX migrates to Image Packaging with its own
  repository.

* The bundled in Gtk-Qt theme engine provides Qt theming support
  for GTk apps running under KDE.
* The Firefox form widgets look better thanks to KDEwidgets from
   Kde-Look.org.

* The BeleniX Development project is now hosted off SourceForge:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/belenix. The SVN repository hosts
  all the SPEC files used to build additional FOSS packages for
  BeleniX and sources and packages of all BeleniX tools utilities,
  BeleniX Constructor and Branding stuff - check it out.

The Release Notes contain other important info and is a must read:
http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=ReleaseNotes_0.7

The belenix 0.7 download information is available at
http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=download

Overall, we hope this release has a reached a level of usability where you
can actually install and use it as regular desktop environment and enjoy
KDE on OpenSolaris.

This announcement with a few additional points is available at
http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=node/69

best regards
Shiv

I haven't got around to it yet. I was in the midst of some major
website upgrades for Thoughtworks the past two weeks and will have
time from today evening, I think.

I'll definitely try this and let the list know.

Subject: [belenix-dev] Tasks for next release (V0.7.1 & V0.8)
Message-ID: <319ee2b10804191838p19ec0b4fwbc9a7be5d903ac09@mail.gmail.com>

We'll have a maintenance release with bug-fixes and few changes as
indicated below.
This is primarily about V0.7.1
Some of the changes are a preparation to get the backend act right
before the next major release V0.8.

Suggestions are welcome. People interested in contributing are welcome
to discuss these on belenix-dev at opensolaris.org

BeleniX V0.7.1
=================
1. Flash player to be included

2. Moving to KDE 3.5.9 (?). Check the possibility. (The KDE 3.5.9
maintenance release was done during Mid Feb 2008
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.5.9.php).

3. Syncing with the latest FOX release.
	
4. Caiman slim source hard-codes lot of text. Many of these
hard-codings need to be changed for use in BeleniX. Write a tool to
automate this.
		
5. Move to latest slim install build.
	
6. as assembler, to be included. sunwcpp to be put up on BeleniX tools
for the purpose of packaging into.
		
7. Check possibility of moving to firefox 3.
		
8. Check the possibility of moving to a newer ON build. V0.7 is based on B81.
		
9. Include Tim Foster's ZFS tool.
	
10. Latest updated usbdump(provides persistence) to be included.

11. Moving to IPS is tentatively for V0.8. One needs to figure out how
to populate/import the IPS report for the target ON build since such
dependency exists.
As part of the preparatory step, this exercise needs to be carried out
for V0.7.1 timeline.

12. SVN conventions, branching to be finalized.

13. SVN pkgbuild macro for pkg_prefix to be introduced. All new specs
to make use of the convention. This helps movement of spec files from
BeleniX repo, SFE & spec-files-other repo with minimal overheads.
	

BeleniX V0.8
=================
1. SFW consolidation - converting into specs.		
2. mount_ntfs to be moved from custom code to linux_ntfs (ntfsprogs)
3. Apache frontend with IPS repo

.........add/delete other items as things progress..........

Notes
=======
1. V0.7.1 to be released some time in 1st week of June.
2. All the builds to happen with BeleniX 0.7 as the development platform.
3. Package dependency information need verification & some cleaning up.

http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=news says "Ksh93
bundled in. This is not yet the default /bin/sh or ksh but will become
the default in 0.6.1.", yet in 0.7 /sbin/sh -c 'echo ${.sh.version}'
echos "Bad substitution".

I find this very disappointing that Belenix still lacks the greatest
innovation in Opensolaris for developers - /sbin/sh and /bin/sh
updated to ksh93 - since Opensolaris was founded.

BeleniX is focussed on being a fine LiveCD. ksh93 has a small foot
print and with the right choice of builtins is likely to be a good
choice. We are *for* using it as the default system shell.

But ksh93 currently results in SMF to break, it needs ON build level
hack to enable/disable options to build ON with ksh93 as default
support.
While we love to move to it, for this release the focus was to spend
the limited efforts available on getting much of the functionality
right.

But please note that the use of ksh93 in place of sh is transparent to
the users and the functionality of the distro essentially remains
unchanged.

I have logged a feature request for the same
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1947507&group_id=216118&atid=1036406).

Why only "LiveCD"?

BeleniX will continue to be a fine LiveCD.
Doesn't mean to say *only* LiveCD as evident by the latest 0.7 release.

ps: changed the subject. If I understand the poster right, the
innovation reference was to ksh93 only :)

Message-ID: <acc780a70804202302s5caa3bb5h12c276589846c337@mail.gmail.com>

Folks,

This is my first post to this list. I was advised by Moinak Ghosh to put it
up here so that the actual guys in  the development group can study
the issue.

I have not put this on the Belenix discuss list or on any other Internet
forum for the  fear of spreading FUD (in case I am wrong), but I thought
I would let you know, to investigate further.

There  is some  problem  with the  Belenix  HDD installer (probably the
solaris fdisk being the culprit).  It rogers the existing partition table.

I have procured a Dell Inspiron 1520 recently.  This is quite a modern
box, with 2 Gb  of RAM and  160 Gb HDD. I am using this box mainly
as a test bed for different OSs to check what goes on below the hood.
At the useland level, there is little to distinguish one OS from another.

I  had so far  installed Win-XP, SuSE  Linux 10.3  and  Free-BSD 6.3
with  all things  running happily. I had kept a 20  GB partition seperate
for Solaris. This was kept immediately after the Windows partition, (at
/dev/sda2) so that there was no conflict with the Linux swap kept on an
extended partition.

I had installing Indiana on that partition, but it did not run from hard disk
but it did not work. Surprisingly, the init files themselves could not be
located ! Indian like BeleniX runs just fine from the live CD.

Night  before last, I  installed Belenix on this, and this  time it ran
from the  hard disk just fine after install. The  only thing which  drew my
suspicion was that it did not show Win-XP in the grub menu. So
I added it  manually as "other" in the  grub configuration. On
rebooting, the  Windows did not  load (NTLRD NOT  FOUND). This
made me investigate.

In my previous arrangement with XP, FreeBSD and Linux, I was
using the Linux grub to multiboot. Even if the installed OS over-wrote
the MBR, putting putting the linux MBR back is just a matter of either
'dd'-ing  the 512 bytes of boot image or do a fresh grub hdinstall after
chrooting to the partition.

I booted through  Suse 10.3 live CD but I  could not mount the
linux partition itself. The partition geometry had all changed ! I
had not kept a copy of the original partition table, so I could  not
recover the original state ...

This is the output of linux fdisk (run from the live CD):


linux at linux:~> su -
linux:~ # fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xe5b7e5b7

Device Boot Start   End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1*  1       3736    30009388+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2   3737    4982    10008495   bf  Solaris
/dev/sda3   4983    6228    10008495   a5  FreeBSD
/dev/sda4   6229    9729    28121782+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5   6229    8000    14233558+  83  Linux

/dev/sda7   9601    9729     1036161   82  Linux swap / Solaris
linux:~ #

If you notice, the linux hard disk shows the disk to be 160 Gb
alright, but the individual slices have shrunk in half. Almost
about 78 Gb of my hard disk has gone "missing" ! I had
originally kept 60 GB for Windows, 20 GB for Solaris and
FreeBSD on primary partitions, and about 60 Gb for Linux
running from an extended partition.

The reason for making this post is to bring to the notice
of the BeleniX developers, about the issue. It may be
worthwhile disabling ther hdinstaller from 0.7 in case
any body tries to install on a box with some critical
data.

I have  nothing critical on my  box, and things can  always
be put back  after clearing  off all partitons. Things are not
that simple though because the partition table itself needs
to be dev-zeroed, to release the balance 78 Gb of space
which otherwise is not accessable from any OS.

I would be doing a fresh partitioning, and would install
BeleniX all over again on /dev/hda2, and note all changes
it  makes, and give you guys a feedback.

Are there any other reports of fdisk issues with Belenix
installer so far ?

   You are taking the statement too literally. The point is that
BeleniX 0.7 today
   is mature enough to be installed and used as a primary desktop. However
   we also want to ensure that the LiveCD features are as cutting edge
as possible.

Moinak.

   To summarize, it was just because of lack of time. We have day jobs
   and do this in our free time. So this will be taken care of in 0.7.1.

   Please note that /usr/bin/ksh *is* ksh93 in 0.7.

Moinak.

Hi Bish,

    Sorry about that. I was not working on the installer. The last I worked
was somewhere around 0.5 or so.
As you said, hdinstaller should be disabled as we have the new installer in
place.
But if you wish to find out why it happened, I can try to help.
While you install nexttime, please do the following.
export DEBUG=1
and then run hdinstaller in the same terminal.

The debug log goes into /tmp/debug.log
You can send me a copy of that.

Regards,
~Sriram

Just checked with Moinak. He didn't bundle old hdinstaller.
Did you use the Caiman installer?

Subject: [belenix-dev] SFE convention for easy movement of spec files across
	repos
Message-ID: <319ee2b10804272203p79298732ia43b9b0cf05944e8@mail.gmail.com>

Currently there are multiple spec file repositories (apart from jds):
spec-files-other, sfe, belenix.
The convention used across these are by & large the same except for
one notable difference - the package prefix

     spec-files-other uses SUNW. Ex: gcc package would be SUNWgcc.pkg
     sfe repo uses SFE. Ex: gcc package would be SFEgcc.pkg
     belenix currently uses SFE but will move to "no prefix" based
package names. Ex: gcc package would be gcc.pkg

Some of us working on the belenix repo also work on sfe repo. As and
when we create new specs in belenix repo, we would like to put them
into sfe as well with minimal effort.
Similar is a situation when people want to move specs from SFE to
spec-files-other.

To make the movement of the spec files easy between the repos, here is
a proposal based on a discussion I had with laca on the #pkgbuild IRC.
The proposal to make this possible is to introduce a pkg_prefix macro
into one of the suitable include files. The package names will be
addressed using the macro instead of hard-coding the names.
This should cover package name as well as dependency information. This
would be a one time work and may be done as and when a spec is taken
up for editing.

Thoughts welcome.

regards
Shiv

Subject: [belenix-dev] unionfs on Belenix
Message-ID: <bf0ac4950804292146y70fc596y36d960a631a655f0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,
             I  am implementing unionfs on Belenix.

This project builds a stackable unification file system, which can appear to
merge the contents of several directories (branches), while keeping their
physical content separate. Unionfs is useful for unified source tree
management, merged contents of split CD-ROM, merged separate software
package directories, data grids, and more. Unionfs allows any mix of
read-only and read-write branches, as well as insertion and deletion of
branches anywhere in the fan-out. To maintain unix semantics, Unionfs
handles elimination of duplicates, partial-error conditions, and more.

for more info about FileSystem stacking and unionfs please visit :
http://www.filesystems.org/project-unionfs.html
and
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6485


Regards,
Onkar

This is great news. What will be your reference implementation ? Or Will you
be porting UnionFS from another Operating System ?

Cheers,
Ananth

Thanks. Will check & get this in.
If you like to have a look at the spec file you may check out them here:
 svn co https://belenix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/belenix belenix

   Um, you can't do that. The GPLv2 license does not permit mixing it with
   CDDL code. A better option is to port FreeBSD UnionFS with the addition
   of a bunch of external patches to fix bugs, performance issues and add
   features.

Moinak.
