Hi All,

On behalf of the Nexenta project, I'd like to announce the
availability of the Nexenta Core Platform 3.0 alpha3 (and belatedly
wish you a great new year!). This is the third release in NCP3 cycle.

You can download the latest iso image from
http://www.nexenta.org/projects/site/wiki/DownloadUnstable

The main changes over the Alpha2 release include:

* move from Opensolaris b129 to b130.
* Many additional network drivers.
* nexenta-on-source changes

>From the release of NCP3, all sunw* packages are natively built on
Nexenta. The complete sources are available in the repository, along
with Sun Studio 12 and other tools to roll your own kernel.

The nexenta-on-source package makes it very easy to build the
opensolaris ON gate on NCP3

apt-get install nexenta-on-source
cd /usr/src/nexenta-on-source && apt-satisfydepends
dpkg-buildpackage -sa

Nexenta ON gate repository:

* NCP2 reposiotry (with b104 packages) is now moved to
http://apt.nexenta.org/ncp2/ hardy-unstable

* NCP3 Alpha2 repository (if you still want to stay with b129 bits)
http://apt.nexenta.org/ncp3a2/ hardy-unstable

Please set your sources.list accordingly.

This is an alpha release, and a moving target until we reach the final
release. It is in a good shape for developers to tinker with.. and we
welcome your efforts to improve NCP3. Please file bug reports /RFEs at
