The next version of StormOS is making great progress. So far:
- Xorg from Jaunty has been backported and works great and there are also more graphics drivers than before (xserver-xorg-video-all now actually installs!)
- Alien has been hacked to better support OpenSolaris packages and can now install VirtualBox Guest additions (mouse pointer integration + video driver is working)
- Xfce has been updated to 4.6
- GNOME 2.26 is work in progress
- Finally switched from libnspr4 to libnspr4-0d
- D-Bus is now working properly
- Switched to Python 2.6
- Lots of other updates/fixes (over 400 packages are waiting to be synced)
Some things are not working though:
- Java - not sure if the worked before though
- Flash player - requires patch to libxt with doesn't seem to work on StormOS
- Xulrunner, when StormOS is multistrapped - this is a nasty one
Some things will be left for the release after next:
- Switch from sunwpolkit to plain ol' polkit (its already been ported, packages just need to be rebuilt with it).
- Possible name change to "Stormix", what does everyone think? A lot of people dont like the "OS".
BTW: If anyone wants to help out, that would be great. I could use some packagers and a forum moderator, and as many testers as possible.
