is very out of date. This is no criticism o the web master - I know only too
well it is next to impossible to keep a web site up to date.
Here are the points.
1) Solaris 9 on Sparc 32 bit (ongoing, getting close, mabshoff is working on
this)
Truth: mabshoff has left.
Unless someone else comes along and does some work, I can't see this really
happening.
2) Solaris 9 on Sparc 64 bit (work will start on this once the 32 bit port works
Truth: Nobody is making any effort on this front.
3) Solaris 10 on Sparc 32 bit (ongoing, getting close, mabshoff is working on
this)
Truth: Solaris 10 32-bit SPARC builds easily on 4.3.0.1, though some test
failures are observed, which need to be resolved.
4) Solaris 10 on Sparc 64 bit (work will start on this once the 32 bit port
works)
Truth: Open Solaris 64-bit is seen as a higher priority, but one might expect
that 64-bit Solaris 10 on SPARC will work at some point.
5) Solaris 10 on x86 32 bit, Opteron/EMT64 32 bit (ongoing, getting close,
mabshoff is working on this)
Truth: Nobody is working on a Solaris 10 32-bit x86 port and I doubt they ever
will. We are going directly to 64-bit, and certainly will not bother then making
a 32-bit build.
6) Solaris 10 on Opteron/EMT64 64 bit (work will start on this once the 32 bit
port works)
Truth. Active development for a 64-bit Open Solaris build, which will run on any
modern processor from Intel or AMD.
7) BSD support on x86, x86-64: most likely FreeBSD
Truth. There is active development for a FreeBSD port, but not for the other
BSDs'
8) the AIX 64 bit port is in the early stages - it can be followed at The AIX 64
bit port page
Truth: Nobody is seriously working on an AIX port.
9) I am actually putting some effort into an HP-UX port. Whether this ever gets
completed is another matter. Details at
