Sometimes a developer would want to test his/her executable (which might contain some bug fix or could be a debug binary). And if this binary needs to be executed during Operating System Install process, then this binary will have to be inserted into the install media (the iso image). The iso media is having its own filesystem layout and we cannot add anything to it directly. The user will have to extract the contents of the iso, edit it and then again convert it back to iso...

Guest Author: Vladimír Kotal Supported OpenSSL Versions in Oracle Solaris Oracle Solaris 11.4 Support Repository Update (SRU) 21 delivers both the OpenSSL 1.0.2 and OpenSSL 1.1.1 versions. These versions are not binary compatible, so software that is compiled with OpenSSL headers and linked with OpenSSL libraries from one version cannot run with the OpenSSL libraries from the other version. The goal of this article is to clear potential confusion with regards to FIPS 140-2...

We build these images using the Solaris Distribution Constructor tool, distro_const(8), which we use to build all of the Solaris 11 media images for distribution. Some of you...
