JDS Sources Released
October 28, 2005 9:49 pm GeneralSo we finally did it – the Java Desktop Community has a new home on OpenSolaris.
Check out our new build environment, centered around that wonderful pkgbuild tool that Laca wrote. pkgbuild basically takes an RPM spec file and builds a Solaris SVr4 package.
[insert jaw dropping]
Now try building your own packages using pkgbuild!
It’s been a bit of a struggle to get there and I know the feedback will be “Uh, but it’s only GNOME 2.10 – that’s been out for months!”. In fact, we already have a GNOME 2.12 based version of JDS ready to go. Hopefully we’ll be able to get that out the door in the next couple of weeks, along with more details of a roadmap and the projects that we’ll be working on over the next couple of months.
