> - Database madness with mongoengine and SQLAlchemy - Jaime Buelta

A small follow-up to the Mongodb talk and the JavaScript engine.
There was a mention that spidermonkey was chosen as the default
engine, because V8 wasn't available on Solaris.  I was curious how
hard it was to build it, and it turned out that Solaris support was
already done a couple months ago, and the only thing to do was to
convince scons to use specific compiler paths and rpath flags.

I've successfully built V8 on a Solaris 10 machine, for both i386 and
amd64 architectures.  It's available as a package from the
experimental area[1].

To install it, a configured pkgutil is needed[2], and then the
following command will get it installed:

pkgutil \
  -t http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/maciej \
  -y -i libv8_devel

Before I send it for release, would anyone be interested in testing it
with Mongodb on Solaris?
