it very much depends who you are dealing with: some are quite good at coordinating with other/external groups, while others, well, don't get me started... I'll see what I can dig up here: my goal has been to get rid of the need for fixincludes on newer Solaris versions, but progress has been slow ;-( We'll probably have to undo this via fixincludes since at least on Solaris 11.x it's already in the wild. Maybe this can be stopped before Solaris 12 ships, though... >>> Once again I wish we had a Solaris machine in the compile farm, or it >>> was possible to install a Solaris VM and get OS updates without paying >>> Oracle for the privilege. >> >>That's easily doable: Solaris is free for development use; you get >>access to the release (11, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, ...) versions, just not to >>patches/updates. > > Yes, but because the libc headers get changed by patches and updates, > I found it was useless to install it in a VM.

True: there have certainly issues like this in the past; that's why I'm trying to keep even older Solaris versions up to date WRT patches. >>They do have a program for free academic use of >>Solaris, including updates, these days: https://academy.oracle.com/. > > That might be useful, I'll see if I qualify. Thanks. Another option might be to get Oracle grant a similar exception to the compile farm. I'll ask around if there's any chance of this.
