Is the main difference between #omnios & #openindiana the shell script build system in https://github.com/omniosorg/omnios-build vs the ports-like https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland?
Or is there actually something interesting in the 4k commits diff between illumos-gate & illumos-omnios? I’m seeing almost entirely branding and file ordering changes. (Also, only 18 contributors!?)

@Toasterson @sjorge @dexter @papertigers Guess I need to dig into the #omnios image build & publish script. I had no idea those images were for aarch64. Maybe it’s worth adding arch to the already long file names.
Which is fun, I was wanting to dig into the same for #OpenIndiana to see about emitting a VMDK.

Oooh, he olde PCC is working on x86_64 #illumos now? Even with an #OpenIndiana package and everything. https://briancallahan.net/blog/20230705.html

The dev machine is operational! #OmniOS on OCI AMD processor, delightfully boring. I still want to come back to spinning up an #OpenIndiana instance as a real workstation, but this works enough to get a build running.
Once I have it kicked off, I’ll start adding basic repeatability scripting, asset uploading, etc. eg continuous integration like it’s 1999.
Also, I’m going to start using #IllumosOnArm just so I can find my messages later.

Grr, haven’t been able to get any terminal time today. I know I’ve got to get #OpenIndiana converted to VMDK, which should be a simple qemu-img command, then we can upload and import into OCI compute imaging.

Gave up futzing with instance principal authentication in OCI IAM and just used a pre-authenticated request to get the #OmniOS image uploaded & imported. Now I’ve just got to convert this #OpenIndiana raw disk image into a VMDK with qemu-img(1)…

#illumos

Trying to spin up #OmniOS and #OpenIndiana instances over in oracle cloud because I don’t have any decent hardware at home anymore, and the irony is delicious.
I’m hoping the basic VMDKs just work, as much as I just love do a PXE boot install over there.
Now the real question is, by what criteria should I pick the one I stick with?
#unix

Ich habe gestern auf der Bucht ein Angebot für ein refurbished Notebook gesehen und das fand ich interessant. Interessant war auch das in der Anzeige ihr Ladengeschäft in Münster beworben wird, also bin och dorthin gefahren (150km) im zu testen ob das OS meiner Wahl #OpenIndiana darauf läuft. Dort angekommen war das beworbene Gerät nicht im Laden (ok, kann passieren) aber auch auf einem vergleichbaren Gerät durfte ich nicht einmal das LiveUSB booten zwecks Kompatibilitätsprüfung…

Formatting one terabyte HD on #OpenIndiana. It's not a question of time. I've forgotten how it was to work on #Solaris. It is a universe!

Formatting in TB on #OpenIndiana. It's not a question of time. Really?

Once it was Solaris. Today it is well opened. My first #openindiana installation, and it works pretty well.

Maybe I should try out some #OpenSolaris forks like #OpenIndiana running the #Illumos named fork of the #Solaris #Kernel...

Tonight I'm fixing a bug in #Firefox WebMIDI implementation that was reported by the #OpenBSD maintainer that also affected all other Unix platforms that aren't Linux. Sending positive vibes to all our non-tier-1 platforms, we love you all #FreeBSD #NetBSD #DragonflyBSD #OpenIndiana etc... I'm sure I missed some.

@pichan #illumos #OpenIndiana because when I code, I mostly code for me and if I write for others I prefer to stay portable, so having a not-so-mainstream OS helps me a lot with that.

First attempt at packaging #Tailscale to an :illumos_logo: #illumos distro. Got tangled in pkgsrc so #omnios / #omniosce gets the first one:

I imagine most of this work could be ported to #openindiana once I get the details ironed out.

Preparing a presentation about some OpenShift details (which are actually k8s details) by building #kubernetes on #OpenIndiana/#illumos - it’s going to be wild :)
