@Toasterson @astade I'm downloading an #OpenIndiana image right now, we will see.

For Linux, I now have support for #epoll (fd events), and additionally #signalfd and #timerfd. On the BSD's that have #kqueue, it covers all these aspects. So, little question here: Are there any solaris / #illumos APIs specifically for signal handling and individual timers I should look into? Or should I stick to classic async handlers (signals) and setitimer (timers) on that platform, and just have a look at /dev/poll?

Had an extremely brief panic upon reading the new release notes, before remembering that stuff like that is exactly why I make regular of the entire VM so if it utterly fucks everything I can just rewind time. And then I checked, and I'm already using the new boot loader, have been for years.

@darrenmoffat #illumos does not yet (illumos.org/issues/5386) so it doesn't even build. The issues I've heard about from #NetBSD land are problems running inside xterm and reverse characters not working anymore.

I use tmux too, this is just about providing a version of screen for my users who still wish to use it.

I'm a big believer in trying the oldest OS version possible when porting software, which is why I didn't jump straight to #illumos

but generally c99 is a minimum requirement these days, which quite possibly rules out solaris 9

I still have not understood the lifecycle of an LX branded zone in #OmniOS / #illumos .

When installing and running a, let’s say, Debian 12 LX image. Does it upgrade to 13 like a normal VM (via apt upgrade etc) or is it mostly static - and a new image must be used for next release ?
