Given that t2.math is down at the moment, reviewing your spkg would
have to wait for some time. I've had little to not input at all in
porting any of the spkg's to Solaris. But I really appreciate that you
have taken the time to do the porting work. Reading through your
comments and emails, I've learnt many valuable tips. One in particular
is to avoid Bashism in shell scripts so as to make one's shell scripts
more portable to other platforms. This has made me more aware of
non-portable features I use my shell scripts, prompted me to read up
on ways to write portable scripts, and helped me to learn about
virtues of portability. A big thank you to you. If we ever meet in
meatspace, either at a Sage Days conference or somewhere else, I would
buy you your favourite beverage.
