Peter Tribble<p>Something else new in Tribblix m37 is the addition of a bunch of KDE games - which can be obtained by installing the kde-games overlay.</p><p>Why games? Apart from the fact they're moderately decent, and having fun is good, the games turn out to be portable as they don't have any OS-specific interfaces to deal with.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tribblix</span></a></p>

JdeBP<p>I see that over the past 11 years or so, since at least 2014, people have been trying to port <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Illumos</span></a> to the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a>. Unsuccessfully, presumably, given that none of <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OmniOS</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenIndiana</span></a>, or <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tribblix</span></a> claim ARM support and all of the porting projects seem to have stalled.</p><p>Only one of those, Tribblix, even has any non-amd64 support, which is quite a contrast with the SunOS origins.</p><p><a href="http://tribblix.org/relnotes.html#m32-sparc" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">tribblix.org/relnotes.html#m32</span><span class="invisible">-sparc</span></a></p><p>I wonder why the port attempts have failed. Illumos surely cannot be that tied to the Intel Architecture.</p>

Peter Tribble<p>Sometimes Tribblix development is the menial task of simply rolling new packages to keep up with the myriad of software releases.</p><p>Other times it's a bit more interesting. In the last few days I managed to both fix an irritating bug (VNC didn't work on older boxes) and finish a new minor feature (a way to manage user trusted certificates).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tribblix</span></a></p>

Peter Tribble<p>After a little bit of experimentation, I've put together a smaller ISO for Tribblix SPARC m32 that might fit onto an actual CDROM. (It's just under 700MB.) This involved minimal shuffling, but means that the X11 packages are no longer on the ISO and would need to be pulled from the repo.
