The X build 134 packages have been converted to IPS for those who
wish to test before the full WOS build 134 becomes available.
These are converted from the SVR4 packages that went through the
pre-integration testing QA and have now been delivered to the 134
WOS dock, using the same distro-import script that the IPS team
uses to generate the IPS packages from the repository.
These should contain all the fixes noted on:
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+x_win/changelogs-nv_130
A tarball of the package repository data is posted to:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/x/downloads/B134/x-pit-134.tar.bz2
("x-pit" for "X consolidation Pre-Integration Testing")
For those inside the Sun firewall and near to the sfbay network,
a repository server is also running at:
http://xserver.sfbay:13400/
This server should be running until the WOS 134 images are posted.
To install from either the tarball or the already-running repository,
please follow the instructions in the README in the tarball, which
is also attached to this e-mail.
If you have any questions or problems with these, please let me know.

Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System
This directory contains an uninitalized repository of the X Consolidation
packages for OpenSolaris build 134, intended to be installed on a machine
already running OpenSolaris build 133.
To reduce download size, the repository does not include the search indexes
or catalog. You will need to initialize those before you can install from
this repository, by running in this directory:
/usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d repo.redist --add-content --exit-ready
The included onu script (borrowed from the ON consolidation) will create
a new boot environment (BE) as a clone of either the current BE or a specified
BE.
It has two modes of operation - one for individual machines, where a local
pkg.depotd is run for just long enough to do the installation, and one for
installing a set of machines from a common pkg.depotd.
For either mode, you will need to use the -O and -t flags to the onu script.
The -O flag indicates that only repo.redist is present as the X consolidation
includes no packages from the extra repository, so has no repo.extra.
The -t flag specifies the name of the new boot environment - you may customize
the name as best fits your environment.
More details on onu flags can be found in the included onu.man file.
-- To install an individual machine
Run as root or via pfexec:
./onu -O -t opensolaris-133-X134 -d `pwd`
The -d flag specifies the path to the directory containing repo.redist.
Make sure your HTTP_PROXY environment variable is not set, since your proxy
will be unable to properly resolve the "http://localhost:13000/"; URL onu uses
for the depot server it runs.
-- To install multiple machines from a common server
If you are installing multiple machines, and want to run a repository to
be accessed from all of them, you would instead start pkg.depotd directly
as:
/usr/lib/pkg.depotd -d `pwd`/repo.redist -p 13000
And then on each individual machine, run as root or via pfexec:
./onu -O -t opensolaris-133-X134 -u http://hostname:13000/ -U x-pit
(replace hostname with the name of the host running pkg.depotd)
