[OmniOS-discuss] NEW BLOODY - last or second-to-last before r151016

[Dan McDonald]

BIG update this time for OmniOS bloody as we head to r151016.  If there is another bloody before r151016, it'll be bugfixes or upstream-illumos that I think require some bloody soak time.

New with this update out of omnios-build (now at master revision 76d2785 in the install media, and one additional bugfix advancing to e75489a in the repo server):

- gcc51 now built with parallel make (shrinking build times noticeably)

- So many updates I had to automate the extraction of them:

    Update gnu-make to 4.1
    Update xz to 5.2.2
    Update wget to 1.16.3
    Update unixodbc to 2.3.2
    Update tmux to 2.0   (NOTE --> additional bugfix available only from "pkg update", thanks to Lauri "lotheac" Tirkkonen for the fix)
    Update tcsh to 6.19.0
    Update sqlite-3 to 3.8.11.1
    Update sigcpp to 2.6.1
    Update screen to 4.3.1

    Update pylint to 1.4.4

    Update libtool & libltdl to 2.4.6
    Update libpcap to 1.7.4
    Update libidn to 1.32
    Update iso-codes to 3.57
    Update ISC DHCP to 4.3.3

    Update coreutils to 8.24
    Update Mercurial to 3.5.1

And highlights of illumos-omnios progress (now at master revision 85fef88, meaning uname -v == omnios-85fef88) include:

- Resumable ZFS send/recv.  Flag day here:

- New ZFS hash algorithms

- Other ZFS bugfixes

- Fix in link aggregations (aggrs) to be more reliable in the face of downed links (illumos 6274)

- strerror_l() for localized strerror().  (Translations welcome.)

- Updated hardware data (prelude to r151016).

- Assorted SMB/CIFS fixes from Nexenta.

- Slight increase in the number of concurrent BEs GRUB can cope with (up from 40 to ~55, but officially we still suggest you keep it at 40 or less).

- useradd/del/mod is now ZFS aware, fix from OpenIndiana.

- EOL of cachefs (I hope nobody is still using it...).

- New uuidgen(1) command.

- prtdiag(1M) improvements dealing with hardware in slots.

- SMBIOS 3.0 support, from Joyent.

- NVMe support (pardon the delay here, wanted it in '014 first).


Please give this one a spin folks -- it's essentially an r151016 preview.
