Introduction 1.1. Project/Component Working Name: Removal of /usr/openwin 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Alan Coopersmith 1.3 Date of This Document: 25 June, 2008 4. Technical Description PSARC 2004/187 established /usr/X11 as the hierarchy for the X Window System software on Solaris, and began to phase out /usr/openwin. This case declares /usr/openwin as Obsolete and removes the /usr/openwin hierarchy from the filesystem, leaving a symbolic link to /usr/X11 in its place for backwards compatibility. This case delivers in two phases: 1) /usr/openwin declared Obsolete This may happen in a patch/micro release of Solaris, and just declares our intent to remove the directory in the future. 2) /usr/openwin removed and replaced with a symlink to /usr/X11 The symlink will preserve compatibility for almost all existing software, by providing access to the existing libraries and commands at the same path as previously. The one known incompatibility this will cause is in the installation of SVR4 packages that deliver files into /usr/openwin. The only packages which are not part of the WOS which should be installing files under /usr/openwin are loadable modules (X11 extensions or hardware drivers) for the Xsun server, so the removal of Xsun must happen before this can be implemented. Thus, this may happen in a minor release, after the following dependencies are delivered: PSARC 2008/033 Xsun Removal Cases TBD Removal of, or moving to /usr/X11, of all remaining WOS files delivered into /usr/openwin Since customer notification of the Xsun removal covers the only valid incompatibility introduced by this change, the EOF notice for that change will be considered to cover this case as well. In the spirit of full disclosure, it is noted that having met the above dependencies, OpenSolaris 2008.05 shipped with this change integrated, and has a single /usr/openwin -> /usr/X11 symbolic link. 6.

For the record, I did have an off-list discussion with several Sun Ray team members about this, and they are aware that this case will require them to update their packages/installer for a future Sun Ray software release such that the Xsun driver delivering into /usr/openwin is in a package which is optionally installed on systems with Xsun & /usr/openwin, and left out on systems without it. Given the dependency of the /usr/openwin removal on the Xsun removal, this is only an issue for OpenSolaris 2008.xx installs for the immediate future, leaving the Sun Ray team some time to make that change. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering From carlsonj@phorcys.east.sun.com Mon Jul 7 05:28:51 2008 Received: from sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM [129.158.71.19]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id m67CSoDA010111 for ; Mon, 7 Jul 2008 05:28:50 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM (nwk-avmta-1.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.146.11.74]) by sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (8.13.4+Sun/8.13.3/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id m67CSgUV010169; Mon, 7 Jul 2008 20:28:47 +0800 (SGT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0K3M00C01YNXBC00@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM>; Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:28:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phorcys.east.sun.com ([129.148.174.143]) by nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0K3M0067NYNW35A0@nwk-avmta-1.sfbay.Sun.COM>; Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:28:45 -0700 (PDT) Received: from phorcys.east.sun.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by phorcys.east.sun.com (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3) with ESMTP id m67CSiQq008584; Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:28:44 -0400 (EDT) Received: (from carlsonj@localhost) by phorcys.east.sun.com (8.14.3+Sun/8.14.3/Submit) id m67CSiCF008581; Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:28:44 -0400 (EDT) Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:28:44 -0400 From: James Carlson Subject: Re: Removal of /usr/openwin [PSARC/2008/405 FastTrack timeout 07/02/2008] In-reply-to: <486D5DEB.8040307@sun.com> To: Alan Coopersmith Cc: PSARC-ext@sun.com Message-id: <18546.3068.701522.349826@gargle.gargle.HOWL> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: VM 7.01 under Emacs 21.3.1 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 References: <200806260045.m5Q0joKl017365@almas.sfbay.sun.com> <486D5DEB.8040307@sun.com> Status: RO Content-Length: 812 Alan Coopersmith writes: > Alan Coopersmith wrote: > > I am sponsoring this case for myself and have set the timeout to next > > Wednesday, July 2, 2008.

Sorry for the late comments ... Does "ow" become an invalid SUNW_PKGTYPE with this case? The current filesystem(5) page lists /usr/openwin as both an install directory and as a mount point. This will need to be updated. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
