packaging advice needed
Hello, I have set up a Jenkins CI server and have it tracking the Tor project's git repository. I'm going to be building packages for the OmniOS platform, which is not yet supported. I tried searching the site for advice for packagers but haven't found any. If I've overlooked it, I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction. More specifically, I'd like to better understand the release and patch workflow that is followed so that I can build the right commits at the right time. I'll have one job tracking the master branch for those who want to test potentially unstable software, but I have another job intended to promote "stable" packages. By the way, this is all a precursor to a set of articles showing how to create network-isolated hidden services inside of illumos zones. I think OmniOS has a lot of untapped potential to help hidden service operators. TIA, Magnus Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.ch), encrypted email based in Switzerland.

Hi Magnus, I think you want to be packaging the maint-0.2.6 branch as 'stable', and master as 'unstable'. Those are the branches that releases come from. Tom

I think our current advice is "do it like the deb does it". https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/tree/debian e.g. https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/tree/debian/tor.init Not because Debian-the-OS is better, but because our particular Debian packager is particularly great. --Roger

Does OmniOS use the same package manager as Illumos? Is it pkgsrc?
