pkgsrc podrska za Illimos OS

Nakon sto je Oracle kupio Sun, i samim tim i Solaris, odluceno je da se ugasi OpenSolaris projekat. Pre samog gasenja, nekoliko developera OpenSolaris-a je odlucilo da se odvoji i nastavi razvoj operativniog sistema baziranog na Solarisu, ali potpuno otvorenog koda, pod nazivom Illumos. Pokrenut je projekat kako bi Illumos mogao da koristi pkgsrc:
Citat:The Illumos project is "a community maintained derivative of the OpenSolaris ON source, including open source replacements for closed bits, and additional changes" (from [Link mogu videti samo ulogovani korisnici]). A couple of month ago, the Illumos community launched "The Illumos pkgsrc project", thus communicating for the first time on pkgsrc being officially supported by a SunOS derivative.

First thing done was a bootstrap wrapper written by Mads Worsøe Duun, ipp. This wrapper permits to easily prepare a pkgsrc environment on an OpenIndiana/Illumos/SunOS 5.11 platforms.

At some point i got involved into the project initiated by Mads, and we quickly got a build zone from OpenIndiana in order to bring some reality to the project. After a month of work, we finally got about 6000 packages built for this platform, and eventually were given a hosting zone for those.

Also, Mads just released a pkgadd(1) package which includes a pre-configured pkgin binary so those packages are immediately available for use. As of today, it is possible to install more than 6000 pkgsrc binary packages on a SunOS 5.11 based platform, as easily as in NetBSD, DragonFly BSD or MINIX.

Many thanks to everyone who provided patches and workarounds in order to make this possible. Special thanks to the OpenIndiana crowd for providing us the build and hosting zones.

FWbuilder podrska za pf

fwbuilder je graficki alat za upravljanje firewall-om. Ranije je postojala (nepotpuna) podrska za pf i sada su developeri krenuli sa radom kako bi se dobila puna podrska. Zato zahtevaju da im korisnici salju pf.conf fajlove koje koriste kako bi mogli da "pokriju" sve moguce sintakse i varijante. Ako podrska postane dovoljno zrela, razmatra se ukljucenje u PCBSD kao podrazumevani alat za upravljanje firewall-om:

Citat:As some of you may know, fwbuilder is a cross-platform, graphical firewall management utility that supports iptables, ASA, PIX, FWSM, Cisco router access lists, pf, ipfw, ipfilter, and HP ProCurve ACL firewalls. Vadim Kurland and Mike Horn, the lead fwbuilder developers, have begun work on providing complete pf.conf import functionality, the last piece that was missing to provide 100% pf support. This work is a direct result of several customers expressing interest in the addition of pf configuration import and they expect the work to be completed by this summer. We're excited to see this work done as it means that we will be able to include fwbuilder as the default firewall management utility in PC-BSD.

Desavanja vezana za OpenBSD:

Podrska za bigmem na amd64 je sada ukljucena tako da OpenBSD najzad moze da koristi vise od 4GB RAM-a:

Lepa prica o tome kako se OpenBSD koristi u korporativnom okruzenju, gde se OpenBSD koristi bukvalno za sve; od firewall-ova, do DNS, NFS, LDAP, HTTP servera, do desktopova (Gnome okruzenje) i thin klijenata:

Za kraj samo treba reci da se OpenBSD instalacioni CD-ovi vec uveliko distribuiraju, tako da uskoro ocekujemo i novo 4.9 izdanje:
