Snapshot 2017.04

illumos-gate:

  • Create service for generic FMA event handler

  • USB 3.x driver support

Userland:

  • OpenJDK 8

  • PostgreSQL 9.6 integrated
  • Extend and improve support of fuse filesystems (exFAT/NTFS, ext4, xfs, btrfs) via https://github.com/lkl/linux
  • 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
