r151006c

Weekly release for 13-17 May 2013

Even though r151006 was delayed, we are sticking to the planned release schedule, which assumed a release for the week of 29 April - 3 May. This way the release of r151008 will not be delayed as a consequence, and it makes this week “c”.

Bug fixes:

  • Updated kernel (REBOOT REQUIRED) - illumos #3769 fixes the implementation of SOCK_NONBLOCK and implements SOCK_NDELAY to match accept4().
    • Affects: system/kernel, system/kernel/platform, system/library
    • Note: the changes in system/library are documentation only, no ABI change
    • Updates may be applied without detaching non-global zones, though we recommend that zones still be shut down during the update process. Zones attached to the system during this update will get a new ZFS dataset that matches the global zone’s new BE
    • After booting into the new BE, shut down the non-global zone again and run 
      pkg -R <zonepath>/root update

      where <zonepath> is the value of the zonepath attribute in the zone’s configuration. Doing it this way is required because the system/library package normally requires a new BE, which can’t be done from within a non-global zone

    • After applying this update, /etc/motd will still show the original release hash (omnios-8d266aa), but uname -v will now show omnios-d3950d8, indicating the updated kernel
  • service/network/ntp - SMF manifest fix to allow ntpd to raise its own scheduling priority, thereby providing more consistent clock adjustments. (https://github.com/omniti-labs/omnios-build/issues/14)
  • storage/storage-server - Remove dependency on library/samba/libsmbclient, which is not part of illumos-gate and not shipped by OmniOS
  • system/install/kayak-kernel - Fix missing miniroot.gz and pxegrub files

Updated packages:

  • system/pciutils/pci.ids - updated to 2013-05-13 snapshot
