since one might conclude that Sage versions laters than
Sage 4.7 don't
support Solaris, which is completely false.
What is true is that there are no *binaries* made for
Solaris. Given the
small number of Solaris users and given the slowness of
our Solaris
machine, I see not much point in making such binaries.
How slow do you mean? It takes me two days to build a bdist
for sage...
That's pretty slow, isn't it? Perhaps the Skynet machine can do
it in
one day, but still, I doubt the usefulness.
People promised a couple of times (last time early this year IIRC)
that t2 (i.e., a SPARC) will come back...
t2 will definitely *not* be coming back.
Ok. I think those running Solaris SPARC machines are rather unlikely to
use pre-built [Sage] binaries anyway.
I would probably keep the directory / page though, with just a README
explaining that we still (intend to) support Solaris on x86 and SPARC
(and regularly test on these platforms), but simply do no longer offer
binary distributions of Sage for these.

For x86[_64], we may ask Dave whether he would want us to build
binaries on hawk.
