This doesn't have any significant breaking changes on the application side, just a lot of normal version updates, but does pick up the handful of illumos CVEs we've had recently.

So it got removed from OpenSolaris and thus illumos, as that was before the fork.
This was announced long before. As a heavy NIS+ user at the time, we were somewhat dismayed to read the announcement. Sun said it would be no problem, LDAP was a superior replacement. We actually tried LDAP, and to call it an unmitigated disaster would be far too generous. Apart from the excessive hardware requirements, endless bugs, woeful performance, and lack of basic functionality, there was an almost total lack of administrative tooling.
My understanding is that NIS itself is also slated for the chop in Solaris 11 at some point.
In theory, you could reinstate NIS+ in illumos - we have the whole commit history so reverting 6874309 wouldn't be so bad. Whether you could get it to work properly is another matter.

What this means right now is that while Tribblix on x86 is effectively in freeze while I work through a bunch of breaking changes, many of those changes are now available on SPARC. While this may seem a bit odd, the reality is that not all the breaking changes apply to SPARC at all (I'm not planning to update perl or gcc there, even though I want to, because the updates won't even build properly), and even those that do are less appropriate (such as desktop updates like bumping the Xfce version). The one visible change that people might see is the python switch from 3.12 to 3.13.

My error re nfs... probably getting Tribblix confused with Open/NetBSD.  The emcryption would be interesting.  Perhaps even if it was only data partitions encrypted for now and auto unlockable then root/FDE later.  Not sure if #alpinelinux or #ChimeraLinux would be a useful starting point as both do native encrypted zfs.]]></description><link>https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/26/greetings-from-tribblix-towers</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/26/greetings-from-tribblix-towers</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[ef@mastodon.bsd.cafe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 02 Apr 2026 13:04:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welcome to the Tribblix Section]]></title><description><![CDATA[Lightweight, different, and proud of it.
Tribblix takes illumos in its own direction with a unique packaging system and a minimalist philosophy. If you run it, you already know why.
Share your experience, ask questions, and connect with others who appreciate doing things a little differently.
