Unofficial OpenSolaris/SPARC 3.4 build
Hi all :)
It's time for a new OpenSolaris/SPARC build of AOO 3.4 :)
http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/aoo-solaris-sparc
This is an unofficial build we provide "as is" and without any warranty.
This build is "smoke tested" and should work in general.
The two issues we were aware of in the older build should be fixed in
this build:
* https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119263
* https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119332
We would like to thank everyone who helped us to get those builds
ready! Thanks to Raphael Bircher for his excellent input about testing
and building - you were an awesome help!
Thanks to Herbert Dürr to point us into the right direction concerning
the "Find & Replace" bug (as promised I'll try to take a look at the
optimization issue as soon as possible!).
And finally thanks to the OpenOffice Community for the big effort! :)
The build scripts which show the used parameters can be found here:
http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/file-exchange-public/tag-AOO340/build.sh.txt
http://adfinis-sygroup.ch/file-exchange-public/tag-AOO340/env.sh.txt
We will try to build upcoming releases and do this as part of our work
for our customers which run OpenOffice on Solaris. If you're interested
in services around AOO, don't hesitate to contact us. We are looking
forward to working for AOO in the future :)
We would be happy to receive any suggestions for improvement and
appreciate any feedback.
kind regards
Nicolas Christener

Maybe we can help here as-well. Like putting a note on the
"http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html" webpage, that we will
support Solaris (x86 and Sparc) in the future but that this takes some
more time than for the usual platforms.
What do you think?

Great. I've sent you some questions via email.
Also, did you see this thread asking about Solaris support?

We would very welcome more testing and more feedback! It's our goal to
achieve the same quality for the Solaris builds as for all the other
builds. The more people looking at the build the better :)

Wow, this would be very nice! As there are different people involved in
our team, we would love to do such a group interview by mail :)
Thank you very much for your kind support, we really appreciate it!

Congratulation!
Would you like more public awareness of this test build? Do you want
to find more users to help test?
If you are interested (and willing) I'd be happy to do an email
interview with you for a blog post. Questions would be related to
your work on the AOO Solaris port, why this is important to your
company, what kind of users do you have, why the move to Apache is a
good thing, etc. It can be a "group interview" if there is more than
one person who wants to answer.
