Can not find link to download OpenSolaris source code

Question

I want to understand how OpenSolaris ptools(process tools) works. How exactly pstack, pmap, pargs etc works, but I can't find any link to its full source code. I can only find an online version of the source. Any advice where I can download source code for offline use?

Solution 1

Like Kristof Provost mentioned, the official source for the code is:

ssh://[email protected]/hg/project/project-repo

Like you said, the source tarballs are now deprecated.

and I can't install Mercurial :(

? But you should have access to some machine where you can? If not, another possibility would be a live CD with mercurial installed, for example the excellent GRML.

Beside that, I cloned the repository for you ;-) You can find it under: http://solaris.oark.org/usr/src/. What you are looking for is the directory http://solaris.oark.org/usr/src/cmd/ptools/. wget should now do the job :-)

Note: I will delete this cloned repository the next weeks...

Have fun.

You can download illumOS code from github. Here is the link.. You can also download as a zip file.

Solution 3

Oracle quickly closed down the OpenSolaris project after taking over Sun.

Because of the previously used open source license, the code is still available.

Clones of the old Mercurial repository:

• https://bitbucket.org/buffyg/onnv-gate/commits/all
• https://github.com/nxmirrors/onnv/commits/master

The last commit is:

6973228 Cannot download firmware 2.103.x.x on Emulex FCoE HBAs
...

There is also an archive of the LSARC/PSARC documents (.tar.gz) previously published on opensolaris.org.

In general, one can also consult the current illumos source code browser (-> illumos-gate) as illumos is based on the last available OpenSolaris. See also the Github mirror.

In the meantime, Illumos development continued, thus some code might include bug fixes and other improvements. But in general, the code should still be very close to the last OpenSolaris state of the art because illumos development resources are quite limited.

When OpenSolaris was still alive, Sun regularly also published open sourced man page archives. The illumos equivalent is a browsable man page site and there is a html repostiory of the last 2009.06 man pages at unix.com.

OpenSolaris + source code available here

Solution 5

Get The Source

It's possible you'll need to use Mercurial to get it.

I heard that OpenSolaris is not "open" anymore? a quick google for "oracle opensolaris" shows a lot of results like this blogs.computerworld.com/16741/oracle_dumps_opensolaris

Possibly deleted answer now from @JDoe: Opensolaris with source is available here.

I checked that page but it seems to have only link to live cd and some other Consolidations. Cant find link to source archive. Can you please post the link to source.

I just saw following comment. "Source tarballs have been deprecated in favour of the onnv project's Mercurial repository." and I cant install Mercurial :(.

Will it be possible for you to share tar for that folder? I don't want to over load you server with lots of download request ;)

[Cole]

Its not problem ;-) the webserver scales fine ;-)

[Hemant]

@echox: I am done with the download if you want you can remove the repository. Thanks alot for your efforts to copy and share repository on you server. :)

[Cole]

thx for the response, no problem. Since we all are using linux/unix such 'tasks' are no big thing ;-)

Packages are also available directly, for instance this.
