Tribblix 0m4 - wake up and smell the coffee

For Tribblix, I don't have a formal development or release schedule.

What I do have is a set of targets or Milestones, which may be features, software, or part of the build process. What I don't have is any dates associated with these, or any specific order in which they might get worked on.

As a rough summary of the milestones so far:

  • Milestone 0 simply proved that I could make a distribution that worked
  • Milestone 1 added Xfce
  • Milestone 2 used packages from an Illumos build, rather than indirectly via OpenIndiana
  • Milestone 3 added Enlightenment E17, went up to gcc 4.7.2 as the base compiler, and included LZ4 compression for ZFS
I've now made the Milestone 4 build available for download. The new feature here is that java is available, courtesy of OpenJDK.

This allows me to include the other tools I've developed, JKstat, KAR, JProc, and SolView as part of the distribution.

Time to put the kettle on and enjoy the coffee.
