- Python 3.5 and 3.6 packaged and separated from LX interfaces (https://www.illumos.org/issues/7507)
- Jenkins packaged and fixed compatibility with OpenZFS
- PostgreSQL 9.6 integrated
- Mate 1.16.1
- Mesa 13.x
- Extend and improve support of fuse filesystems (FAT/FAT32/exFAT/NTFS, ext4, xfs, btrfs) via https://github.com/lkl/linux
- Make OpenJDK 8 the default one
- Xorg update?
- Consider starting "Adopt you package" initiative:
- People can adopt maintenance over certain packages, upstreaming changes should be even more easier
- Install system-config-printer by default and provide a control panel icon for it.
IPS / pkg5:
- Debug different IPS issues - zoneproxy failures, facet issues (e.g. pkg fix python-34)
- "Speed up IPS" initiative
- people report that IPS performance is appalling in some cases. We should investigate and try to fix problematic parts
- try to investigate if IPS can work with HTTP/2 and what steps are needed
- Cherrypick some new features / fixes from upstream pkg5 repository:
Build system changes:
GPG signature verification support- Automatically install dependencies when building packages
- Add support for building components that have only changed - incremental build
- Port prep.mk SCM changes from userland-gate and unite components
- Finish moving componets to category layout and add REQUIRE_PACKAGES everywhere
Other:
- Rethink installer media image naming convention (these changes would make it much more intuitive for new users and doc writers)
- Text installer should be called 'Server' installer
- Live Media installer should be called 'Workstation' installer
- Text installer icon on GUI desktop should be renamed to 'Console Based Installer' (or something similar)
- Gui installer icon on GUI desktop should be renamed to 'Graphical installer' (or something similar)
