Great discussion today at #thoughtworks on build pipelines for #belenix. It should be possible to decompose #illumos builds too

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

Some #belenix discussions today at #thoughtworks #Bangalore

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

Hurrah! :) end to end rpm on #belenix :)

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

Alright !!! :) Another success step toward getting a full #rpm environment on #belenix !! :)

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

#belenix work in progress! "RT @sriramnrn: Got rpm5 to build version 5.3.11. On to the next task - building a demo package."

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

Fantastic dinner with @dexterous . We walked through build pipelines for distros, and then picked Ruby app deployment (with native bindings)

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

Amazing day yesterday. Six hours with Anil from Nexenta discussing package management and the storage industry.

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

Eight minutes to uninstall gcc-3 using IPS. At least this will be for only some time more.

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

A gcc deploy screwed up my system. Thanks to zfs rollback, I've recovered in less than 5 minutes :) #belenix development continues :)

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

Post the rpm POC, I'll need more resources working on #belenix . A single core + 2 GB RAM + 4500 rpm can go only so far (even with zfs)

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

rpm 5 ready for belenix :) http://www.belenix.org/content/Fwd-belenix-notify-SFnet-SVN-belenix420-trunkspecfilesrpmsrpm5spec

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

#rpm on #belenix now has partial IPS macro support :) more on the way :)

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

#rpm5 for the packages, and Smart for the Package Manager. Should take care of the future where distros, incl #Debian, are providing smart.

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

Why #openindiana? Because we don't want to fracture the community. But Rpm vs pkgbuild specfiles will be a challenge.

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

@hcsaltiel Not .deb - We don't have the time to resolve crazy issues on debian-legal. Expect a discussion on belenix-discuss starting today

[The Belenix Team @belenix]

#openindiana + rpm5 may be the way ahead. Binary compatibility, but not package compatibility. IPS is disaster for low b/w users.

For the longest time we thought Apache Harmony was an online dating service for American Indians. Who knew?

[Sriram N @sriramnrn]

We discussed #belenix at the #posug meeting at #thoughtworks pune yesterday. Need to post the #belenix roadmap tomorrow.
