Looking over my blog recently, I realized I never did a post for the Solaris 11.3 GA release to list the bundled software updates, as I’d previously done for the Solaris 11.1, Solaris 11.2 beta, Solaris 11.2 GA, and Solaris 11.3 beta releases. But that was two years ago, so telling you now what we shipped then would be boring. Instead, I’ve put together a list of what’s changed in the Solaris support repository since then.
When we shipped the 11.3 beta, James announced that Oracle Instant Client 12.1 packages were now in the IPS repo for building software that connects to Oracle databases. He’s now added Oracle Instant Client 12.2 packages as well in the IPS repo, with the old packages renamed to allow installing both versions.
While there’s plenty of updates and additions in this package list, there’s also a good number of older packages removed, especially those which were no longer being supported by the upstream community. While the End of Features Notices page gives a heads up for what’s coming out in some future release, the SRU readmes also have a section listing things scheduled to be obsoleted soon in the support repository. For instance, the SRU 26 Read Me announces the removal of Tomcat 6.0 has been completed and warns these packages will be removed soon:
- MySQL 5.1
- sox
- beanshell
- Apache httpd 2.2
- GnuTLS 2.8.6
- libgcrypt 1.5.3
- libtiff 3.9.5
- grails
Detailed list of changes
This table shows most of the changes to the bundled packages between the original Solaris 11.3 release and the latest Solaris 11.3 support repository update (SRU26, aka 11.3.26, released November 15, 2017). These show the versions they were released with, and not later versions that may also be available via the FOSS Evaluation Packages for existing Solaris releases.
As with previous posts, some were excluded for clarity, or to reduce noise and duplication. All of the bundled packages which didn’t change the version number in their packaging info are not included, even if they had updates to fix bugs, security holes, or add support for new hardware or new features of Solaris.
