[desktop-discuss] Re: JDS on Solaris 9?

[Laszlo (Laca) Peter]

Congrats!

We're[1] also moving ahead with porting JDS4 to 2.15.4.  Many patches 
need to be ported unfortunately.  We're hoping to start a full build on
Monday.

Going forward, vermillion builds on opensolaris.org will be based on
GNOME 2.15, while SXCR (Nevada) remains 2.14 based.

DBUS was approved today by ARC for inclusion in Nevada, so it will be
in snv_46 and HAL is coming probably in 47.  Won't help on S8/S9/S10, 
though.
