EvalBot at home

The Stellaris development kit I ordered back in October has finally arrived today. Kudos to TI for keeping their promise and delivering it for the discounted price. I'll do the assembly when the boy comes home from the kindergarten so we can have some fun together :-)

KDE 4.6.0 for Solaris

Binary KDE 4.6.0 packages for Solaris 11 are available at the usual place. The only parts missing are kdebindings, kdeplasma-addons and kdepim. Unfortunately these are not buildable at the moment. On the other hand 53 localization packages are present.
Other packages worth mentioning are Amarok 2.4.0, QtCreator 2.0.1 and Boost 1.45

There is an interesting powerdevil related crash when one logs into the session, but apart from that it works quite nicely.

The packages were built on b151a so OpenIndiana users might prefer to build them themselves.

There is no spo^Wbutton

There is no door-button in this bus, if you can see any you must be hallucinating.

KDE 4.5.5 for Solaris 11

$SUBJ is out in the wild, you can get it from the repository at bionicmutton.
There's not many changes upstream, but concerning Solaris support, we're workarounding a stupid cairo bug in S11e that caused issues with anything png-related.

No spam

A few weeks ago we put a label saying 'No advertisements' on our mailbox.
Of course the frequency of the warm fuzzy feelings that accompany the act of throwing a big box of paper waste into the blue paper bins has drastically decreased but something's telling me the nature appreciates it more this way :-)

It also gives us quite a unique feeling as in our town only 275 other people do the same. Wow :-(

KDE 4.5.4 for Solaris 11

Hey, a couple of hours after the official release we published the binary packages of KDE 4.5.4 built on S11 Express.
A dedicated person might be able to fit them to OpenIndiana as well, but it'll be non trivial task. OTOH they should build just fine from the sources.

No screenshot today as I did not have the time to install them.

KDE 4.6 beta1 for Solaris

A few hours ago, KDE 4.6.beta1 was released. The kde4-solaris project was among the first to provide binary packages, you can get them from the kde4-solaris IPS repository. The packages were built on Solaris 11 Express, I'd expect them to be installable on OpenIndiana as well. Check [ade]'s blog for more.

Update: It looks like pkgbuild is adding the build number of the build machine into the dependencies. This blocks install on OI, as the dependency cannot be met then. We're working on a solution.
