Solaris port? Solaris binaries?

[Jonathan Robie <jo...@redhat.com>]

I'm talking to someone who wants a tested Solaris port, preferably 
binaries for Open Solaris.

Where are we at with that?

Ok.

The port was not finished and the I/O layer has had a few changes
since the last work was done. There are a few jiras on it, I believe.

I have some Solaris machines and could develop the rest of this port
and build a kit if there's sufficient interest.

Currently this port doesn't work.

Some work has been done to port to Solaris and we have an IO layer which
should work, but the full port hasn't been completed.

I think the remaining issues were to do with the Sun compiler rather
than the Solaris platform, so getting a working gcc compiled port would
probably be easiest.

I don't think anyone is running a regular Solaris build, so that is
another issue, for long term maintenance.
