86 Software Packages to be Released

We at Blastwave have been very very busy. In less than thirty days we have built a new Wiki ( http://wiki.blastwave.org ) and rolled out community forums ( http://wiki.blastwave.org/forum/ ) as well as installed a new stack of AMD Opterons and UltraSparc based build zones. We have ripped through a massive pile of software that we wanted to get out to you. In this release we have little things like autoconf, automake and GNU m4. We have a pile of BIG things like Ruby 1.8.7, Samba 3.0.32 and Samba 3.2.3, Amarok 1.4.10 with new libxine 1.1.15. We have IceCast 2.3.1 and a new MPlayer. There also is a new GCC 4.3.2 for both Solaris x86 and Sparc on anything from Solaris 8 upwards.

Watch the active testing list at Network.com and be sure to check out the published titles at Library.Network.com. Join the community forums and just feel free to jump in and be part of the process here.

What is Blastwave.org ?

Blastwave is a software service for Solaris x86 and Solaris Sparc users

Blastwave is a collective effort to create a set of binary packages of free software, that can be automatically installed to a Solaris computer (sparc or x86 based) over the network. Blastwave has a substantial build server farm for the use of the software developers and maintainers in the Solaris community. All software is built and tested in a standardized build environment using Sun ONE Studio 8, Sun ONE Studio 10, Studio 11 tools as well as GCC.

      There are currently 1806 software packages in standard SVR4 package format
      ready to use and easily installed with “pkg-get”. Please see the “crontab list”
      for the most recent 400 software packages released. The list is updated often.

      The software is delivered in the form of two “branches” of package files. There is
      the “unstable” branch and the “stable” branch. As one would expect the packages in the
      “unstable” branch change quite often. New software is added and updates are released
      continuously. The “stable” tree also exists and it changes once per quarter year at most.
      Each of these branches contains the same list of software packages for Solaris™ on
      either UltraSparc™ or the x86/AMD64 architectures.

      The current branch sizes in bytes are thus :

3944030833 bytes in unstable branch for sparc
3759484597 bytes in stable branch for sparc
3699148629 bytes in unstable branch for x86 & AMD64
3513327303 bytes in stable branch for x86 & AMD64
