<p><tt>Unless there are news regarding OmniOS my stance is</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>- OmniOS 151022 is a freeze of current Illumos + LX. At
the moment it is the most stable and feature rich free Illumos
general use server distribution with the addition LX zones. As
there is no repo and development outside OmniTi it is freezed.
There are no signs from OmniTi to add any fixes. As packages are
signed it does not work outside OmniTi. As OmniOS 151023 is
identical without signed packages a community based repo based
on it with possible fixes as 151022ce (community edition) is a
suggestion (but sadly I am not an OS developer).</tt><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Without LX and a former OmniOS alike support option available
you can move to OpenIndiana as a 1:1 replacement. OpenIndiana
(current is 2017.04) is more or less pure Illumos + an optional
GUI + a lot of services in the repo. OpenIndiana is the idea to
continue OpenSolaris. The OpenIndiana textedition is nearly
identical to OmniOS beside LX. There is also a GUI option with
Mate. If you avoid the bunch of extra services, media tools and
office tools its a very stable option, just like OmniOS is/was.
As there is no long term stable with backporting fixes you can
use a snapshot like the 2017.04 and update single packages on
OpenIndiana when needed. A pkg update gives you the whole newest
Illumos similar to OmniOS bloody. Like OmniOS OpenIndiana offers
a new snapshot + iso every 6 months. If there are bugs fixed in
Illumos you get them on OI. </tt><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>- You can report bugs regarding the distribution to the
OpenIndiana list. Bugs that are related to core Illumos
functionalities (OS, ZFS, drivers, core services like iSCSI,
NFS, SMB) should be reported to the Illumos list optionally as
an issue at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.illumos.org/issues">https://www.illumos.org/issues</a> (was the same with
OmniOS). They get fixed there like it was with OmniOS.</tt><tt><br>

<div>Unfortunately OmniTI no longer offers support contracts for
OmniOS. We actually have a contract that's still good through I
think November, but given their main support engineer is no
longer with the company and the OS appears to be in limbo at the
moment I'm not sure what good that does us ;).</div>

</div>
<div>If you think you've found a bug, your best bet at the moment
is to just report it to this list, possibly to the upstream
illumos developer list if you can detail it reasonably
technically, and perhaps open an issue on the illumos issue
tracker. </div>
