DilOS contain: dilos-userland + dilos-illumos-gate + converted binaries to DEB packages from OpenIndiana (oi-experimental).
dilos-userland - contain packages with gcc builds instead of some packages with SunStudio builds. This userland contain fixes from userland-gate(Orcale) and contain additional packages ported from Debian upstream. Builds of packages focused on gcc builds.
dilos-illumos - based on illumos-gate with some modifications: updated build system for create DEB packages through build, updated BEADM for support all installed zones, integrated LIBM, removed dependencies from Python24 and use Python27 as default, Perl-516 as default, and others changes not included to illumos-gate.
At this moment not all packages have been built on DilOS for development environment.
Plans: to have all packages in dilos-userland with gcc build for userland and illumos development environment.
