[belenix-discuss] Belenix development status
Sriram Narayanan
I've been working on Belenix related tasks again during the past two weeks.
I'm pleased to report that I've been using rpm + smart the past few
months without problems.
I took a slight detour from the Belenix roadmap that I'd proposed some
months ago, and decided to check out various application stacks first
so that I'd have an understanding of what would work, and what else
would require some effort. The following are working fine so far:
postgreSQL, MySQL, sqlite, Ruby, Ruby on Rails. I faced an interesting
problem with phusion_passenger, and even using the master repo gives
the same errors (something about an Unexpected End of File). I've
checked the bug reports and this seems to be a common problem with
various Linux distros and phusion passenger too.
I'm next going to test PHP, Django and NodeJS. All three are proven on
the Solaris platform, of course, so all that I'm going to be testing
here is whether it works on the specific illumos build +
non-development-library environment that I've setup via Boot
Environments :) Once this is done, I intend to pick up the build grid
work again.
I've also jot down the first draft of the Belenix packaging process -
something about how we should apply continuous integration practices.
I'll be posting this document for review (along with some screenshots
of me getting all this to work on my laptop computer).
The ideal situation would be to work closely with the Illumos and
OpenIndiana communities on sharing build processes, so that we could
all have separate build pipelines only where necessary and share the
rest of it.
Feel free to observe progress via @sriramnrn and @belenix.
