Ok. I think those running Solaris SPARC machines are rather unlikely to use
pre-built [Sage] binaries anyway.
Good point.
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.
If we test on these platforms, clearly we have binaries. Is sticking
the (test) binaries on the site that hard?
I don't think that would make much sense (cf. Dave's comments).
Having some "random" binary that runs on a specific machine (of these
platforms) is not the same as having (or being able to provide) a
[useful] binary distribution.
IMHO it's better to tell people they should build from source than
offering potentially broken bdists. [We already get enough error
reports for the Linux bdists, although a couple simply due to distro
mismatches, i.e., people trying to run them on different ones than
they're meant for, despite that being encoded in the filenames.]
