Hudson is now available as an IPS package, joining the existing Debian, OpenSUSE, and FreeBSD packages. The IPS package is available here; Kohsuke provides Complete Instructions on how to install it; pretty straight forward, althought it currently requires a couple of extra steps. One of the benefits of Kohsuke doing this is that it helps us become more familiar with IPS. Also check this comparison between IPS and apt-get commands, and these doc pages: pfexec, svcadm and svccfg. |
The new OpenSolaris-branded distribution was launched at CommunityOne (PR, GetIt); together with efforts like OpenSolaris.COM and TheObservatory it is intended to help the users of OpenSolaris complementing the developer-focused OpenSolaris.ORG.
I think will see significant increased adoption of OpenSolaris in the next few months. Other trends that will help are the increased adoption of VirtualBox (home page, vb at TA, LinuxJournal Award), the new IPS package system, and more familiarization with features like ZFS, DTrace and IPS.
