New in Joyent pkgsrc, OmniOS r151048 & SFE Repos (Report)

majekla

Hello everyone,

I wrote a script to create a daily report on new arrivals in the major repositories of OmniOS (OmniOS r151048 core/extra, SFE, pkgsrc).
Since it took me a while to notice the arrival of Prosody, I thought it might interest (or not) people to quickly know what the new features are.
I will update this list.

There have been a lot of changes overnight. Here is the report in 3 paragraphs:

New Packages
Updated Packages
Removed Packages

Hoping I didn't make too many mistakes in the automated classification..

Instead of listing the daily change reports on the git and cluttering the forum with countless tutorials, I created a newsletter on Buttondown this morning.
It will be much simpler for me to manage.

This is a public newsletter, so there's no real need to subscribe.
(Some reports may be voluminous.)

To view the newsletter archives:
https://buttondown.email/majekla/archive/

To receive publication information, simply add the following URL for a new subscription to your usual RSS aggregator:
https://buttondown.email/majekla

Then just double-click on the received RSS feed, and it will take you to the web page with the report.

Please tell if any problem

I am gradually adding many tutorials that I've written to the newsletter. Since it's a newsletter, past tutorials are only visible on the web page of the archives, whose link is above, but for those who might want to subscribe, I can resend any email (or all) upon simple request.

Unfortunately, the display of emails is better on an email client than on the web page of the archives :-S... that's a bit unfortunate, but there's clearly nothing I can do about it).
