Just released version 1.2.0 of #xclock which adds a bunch of new options for customizing the display, contributed by
Axel Svensson, and a new meson build system, contributed by me.
For instance, one of the resource files provided as an example in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xclock/-/merge_requests/19 produces the following grandfather clock style display.

Yesterday was Oracle's quarterly Critical Patch Update release day, so for #OracleSolaris we have released updates for 11.4, 11.3, and 10:
11.4: https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/announcing-oracle-solaris-11-4-sru94-cpu
11.3: https://commun…

Today I learned how to call getpeerucred() from Python on Solaris, to provide a replacement for getsockopt(SO_PEERCRED):

My other contributions to this SRU included removing Imake and libpcre, and updating our X server packages to build with gcc instead of the Studio compilers.
Diffs of the core OS man pages between #OracleSolaris 11.4.90 and 11.4.93 are at https://gist.github.com/alanc/0d8b3addf351d8f0d770727b85ff99c0 so you can see more about what changed in the software, as well as some of the documentation cl…
SRU93 also removed the PCRE version 1 library (move to version 2), support for Oracle Key Manager (move to KMIP), IKEv1 (move to IKEv2), Imake (move to autoconf/meson/cmake/etc.), and Sun's SIP & SDP libraries (move to GNU libosip2 or anot…
In SRU 93, the packages for libpng versions 1.0 and 1.2 have been obsoleted and will be removed on upgrade. A future SRU will do the same for version 1.4. Software built against the Solaris-provided libpng packages should be recompiled to …
Many other FOSS packages were upgraded in #OracleSolaris 11.4.93 as you can see in the announcement and ReadMe file. Perhaps most notably, the IANA Time Zone database was updated to version 2026b, which will cause the America/Vancouver ti…
Perl 5.42 & PHP 8.5 are newly available in the #OracleSolaris 11.4.93 package repo, alongside older versions of each, so that users can start migrating off Perl 5.38 & PHP 8.2 before their upstream support ends later this year.
