Something similar to Debian > with the FreeBSD kernel? Awesome. yes, it is. illumos, OpenIndiana and OmniOS use IPS as package manager delivered by Oracle Solaris.

Debian packages could be shared with DilOS target something like: ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS),solaris) PLATFORM_ARG = dilos-g++ else # solaris ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS),hurd) PLATFORM_ARG = hurd-g++ else #hurd ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH),sparc) PLATFORM_ARG = linux-g++-sparc else #sparc PLATFORM_ARG = linux-g++ endif #sparc endif #hurd endif #solaris it's from tqt-x11-free-14.0.6~pre5/debian/rules, of course, as example -- denk@RusNet

TDE on illumos based system
by Denis Kozadaev 22 Aug '19

Hello, developers. We are the DilOS Team, it is an illumos based system with apt+dpkg package manager. (http://www.dilos.org/) We ported most of the packages of TDE to our platform. We would like to share some patches, including platform specific for target __dilos__ We can start it in a zone as xdmcp server: http://witch.tambov.ru/~denis/dilos/tde/ (I ported some packages to OpenIndiana and use it as desktop, now I'd like to use it under dilos and I hope the project is still alive) -- denk@RusNet

Have the TW repos been removed? tde-mirror.yosemite.net doesn't work either. :-( -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Time for community-managed infrastructure for TDE stable?
by Mike Bird 04 Aug '19

04 Aug '19

TDE Devs, I hesitate to send this to a do-ocracy when I don't have the time to do it myself but I think this warrants a ping. I rate myself as a software engineer with an excellent track record in (proprietary) database managers, AI, and systems software. I've designed software, lead software teams, and picked up other's failing projects and literally worked and slept in my office to ship on time. But I would never have thought that what Tim did was possible. The solo fork and improvement of TDE was a massive undertaking in which Tim succeeded brilliantly. Whether or not Tim ever touches TDE again I have an enormous respect for his courage, talent, and achievement. But now others have taken up the mantle. The original TDE infrastructure has been broken in various ways for a long time. The stable mirrors have been unable to update for eight months. The trinitydesktop.org domain expires in March and there is no guarantee that the original TDE infrastucture will continue to stumble along even that long. TDE 14.0.7 is currently in PSB. Waiting for 14.0.8 might be too late. I would like to see TDE 14.0.7, either when it goes stable or soon thereafter, on community-managed infrastructure. --Mike
