Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 32-bit support in OpenIndiana Hipster

There's something wrong with this picture... Although OI inherited isaexec and *could* ship both 32- and 64-bit executables and libraries, presently only 32-bit libraries are available in many cases (e.g. gamin). Also, the default compilation on 64-bit systems produces 32-bit executables (and libr

A while back, there was a suggestion made to build bash from updated sources (patched for variations of the "shellshock" vulnerabilities), simply mv /usr/bin/bash to another name and install a link to the newly built program. I pointed out that this might not be a good idea without first carefully

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Locating source, patches, and build information for binary packages

Could somebody kindly direct me to some resources for locating source and information about builds of open-source software provided as binary packages in OpenIndiana. I suspect this will be a recurring issue; at the moment I'm looking for ntp. The openindiana package identifies itself (via ntpq -
