that’s whacked

pkgs, kstats, sunfire, and more…

a roundup of my status for the week…

the packaging tools source cleanup has gone well. i’m pretty much done, and just processing code review feedback. i need to send it to the Install gate guys for review and get their feedback as well. bonnie and i are hopeful for a mid-February release.

i’ve got a wad ready to go back that moves the Perl Kstat modules to the open tree. this is a fairly major component that has been missing, so i’ll be glad to get this (and the pkg tools!) source out there. part of the build-time dependencies for Kstat involved me having to move a bunch of the sunfire platform code (usr/src/uts/sun4u/sunfire) to open as well. so for all of you who have been waiting desperately for the environmental control source, they’ll soon be available.

i found one bug in my Teamware->SVN bridge which killed my server when a putback consisted only of renames, and no updates/creates. this has been fixed, and it’s back in place processing ONNV putbacks. i’m not sure what the status is for this and how soon we can get our read-only SVN repository out on opensolaris.org…

i’ve also got my OpenGrok Firefox toolbar ready to go. chandan kindly made me a bugs icon, and I think it’s ready for release. i even got all the legal approvals.. just waiting for one review before i post it in the OpenGrok community.
