Intel and SPARC builds have been done by gcc-6.
 
Many updates:
- PAM: moved to use libpam0g with corresponded tools(useradd, usermod, etc)

- added MIT KRB5, but need configure service and fix corresponded tools (volunteers are welcome)

About SPARC.
need a time try to prepare bootable ISO with all latest fixes and fix installer.
it wlil be available with all updates a little later.
 
We have ported many components from Debian userland as build dependencies, but have to work on services and configurations.
DilOS is Open Source platform and you are welcome with bug reports, feedbacks, updates and investments :)
 
If you need packages, what are not in DilOS yet, you have 2 options:
1. try to port your own packages and upstream to DilOS repo
2. request some list of packages with sponsorship.
 
We are open for proposals with setup, configurations and supports for different use-cases.
Paid support of setup and solutions (and ports of new components) can be provided by Argo Technologies SA.
 
best regards,

2.0.1 version has been released.
 
It is first Intel release has been done by one compiler - gcc-6.4.0

apt update && apt install -y os-upgrade && os-upgrade -y
 
New version will be installed to new BE and you can reboot to new version.
 
Or you can download ISO/USB/PXE:
 
We use Debian technology.
We try to port Debian userland apps with original Debian configurations in files.
Unfortunataly, it is not possible for all components right now.
As result it will take more work on services (SMF).
Also needs to work on pre-/post- scripts for using under our ZFS boot environment specific and zones.
 
As Debian technology and ports of apps from Debian userland, we can use some packages for 'all' platforms as is.
Such as: for Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, NodeJS, etc.
They are packages in non-binary mode
 
This release has been moved to use GRUB1, becausse new loader from illumos tree has several issues with loads if some usb sticks presents/inserted to servers and it was failed with loads as bhyve VM.
It is possible to use loader, but need a prepare boot iso/usb images and fix installer to use loader.
it can be requested by email or on IRC: #dilos

DilOS 2.0 beta1 has been released!
 
we have 5 years with DilOS! :)
 
It is first release with new scheme: move to use original Debian style packages and builds.
 
not at all fixed yet - it was big transition time - and still in progress.
 
what news with this and next releases:
- gcc 6.4.0 64bit as primary compiler for userland builds on Intel and SPARC
Intel: illumos build by gcc 5.x 64bit because we can see issues with dtrace + ctf in kernel side with gcc 6.x builds - have to investiagte or try to wait (maybe illumos community will fix it  :) )
SPARC: illumos build still with gcc 4,x because have to work on transitions of Sun AS -> GNU AS for sparc sources.
- more 64bits builds
- moved illumos tools to /system/bin/ and use original coreutils and GNU tools in primary place.
illumos tools have ACL support and if you need it - try to use tools from /system/bin/
with GNU tools in original PATH it helps with ports of Debian userland applications with autotools
- some illumos userland tools have been replaced to versions from Debian upstream: cron, exim4(instead of sendmail), etc
- LX zones: have been tested with CentOS and Ubuntu distibutions.
- possible to setup ipkg zones with OI(OpenIndiana) and smartos with pkgsrc.
- and many others updates
 
Right now we are using Debian stable release 9.x (Stretch) as mainstream.
The new system has been tested in different virtual environments such as kvm(+virtioblk +vioif), vmware(+vmxten3s +pvscsi +open-vm-tools), virtualbox and zones.
 
Plans:
- continue to sync updates from illumos + illumos-joyent
- continue support SPARC builds
- to go forward with new scheme and try to move to use original userland builds (Debian style) as is - have to fix build dependencies and some build tools.
- ports/updates many userland apps
- try to look to Xen 4,x port (when all build dependencies will be ported)
 
Personally, i’m inetersted in server side, but if you are intereted in desktop - you are welcome with ports of userland apps for it or sponsors of others for it :)
 
You can try doanload and install DilOS 2.0 and provide your feedback (https://bitbucket.org/dilos/site/downloads/).
