- There now is a separate download page, with
OpenPGP signatures and checksums for the binary kits.
- 2003/04/21
- We've updated the website. A new package
listing is available, as well as more documentation. We're reaching the
first official release...
- 2003/04/03
- Solarpack NPCT 0.9 has just been released for Solaris8/sparc,
Solaris9/sparc and Solaris9/x86. Read the
documentation for details.
Packages for the three architectures will start beeing released in a few
days.
- 2003/03/19
- We've been working a lot on the Solarpack maintenance procedures. The
repository will start to be updated regularly...
The new features are (mainly):
- full-sandboxed installation (X11 applications are no longer
installed under /usr/openwin;
- Solaris 9 (sparc) support (packages coming soon!);
- Upcoming x86 support.
- 2002/11/14
- We've revamped the site, mainly to make it more maintainable. The
documentation for Zounds! is now also
present.
- 2002/11/05
- The first release of Zounds is almost here. It's already in CVS. Stay
tuned!
- 2002/09/17
- The binary reposository is finally set up; over 1300 packages are
available from SourceForge for your Solaris machines. Read the details in
the (updated) Zoularis on Solaris How-to.
- 2002/08/08
- While the development of Zounds is going on pretty rapidly (thanks to
the power of Python), the package
building effort is continuing.
We now have complete and running Gnome
and KDE distributions, and over a thousand
packages!
- 2002/07/30
- Our dselect avatar now has a name, Zounds, which
stands for Zoularis Network Distribution System. It's
design page has been updated, and a
blueprint for the Zounds repository
has been started.
Our package repository now contains almost 1K
packages!

- Since I managed to get the pkgsrc bulk-build procedure to run,
the patching/packaging burden grew lighter. We now have
over 750 packages up and running.
- 2002/07/22
- I've started to write a whitepaper
(PDF version) for our so-called
dselect avatar's design. Please feel free to
send in any comments and
suggestions.
- 2002/07/19
- Over 400 packages now build and run under
pkgsrc on Solaris 8. We'll start the online repository very soon
now.
- 2002/07/16
- We're now in the process of writing documentation (see the preversion
of the Zoularis HOWTO), as well as tools that will
allow users to synchronise with a binary package repository, and
maintainers to update it easily.
Hopefully, SourceForge will host this
repository on their servers.
- 2002/07/12
- pkgsrc builds most of GNU, and many more important packages,
on our Solaris boxes. Currently about 300 packages have been built; here's
a long list of these packages.
- 2002/07/05
- We've chosen NetBSD's
pkgsrc, and it's cross-platform port
Zoularis, as our packaging system.
Many arguments in favor of this packaging system can be found in Julien's
introductory
slides. |
