[desktop-discuss] JDS Development Build 51 now available

[Damien Carbery]

Binary downloads for JDS Vermillion Development build 51 are now available from:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/current/

NOTE: 'Development' refers to the fact that this build is not yet sufficiently
stable for Solaris Nevada Integration. We are currently using a Stable build
based on GNOME 2.14 in Solaris Nevada. While this build is based on
GNOME 2.16, it should be considered to be of similar quality to GNOME
2.15 Development builds.

Spec files used in the build are also available.
This build requires snv_48 or greater.

This build is based on GNOME 2.16.1.

Installation Instructions
=========================
1) As root, disable the postrun and dbus services to avoid install-time
error messages:
# svcadm disable svc:/system/postrun:default
# svcadm disable svc:/system/dbus:default

The HAL packages have been incorporated into the installer so do not have to be installed manually, as was the case for the last JDS Development build.
