I have some sparcstations too, and would like to be able to use them, but honestly it's unlikely that I ever will. What's more, a modern linux experience is not possible due to limited RAM and disk. Not to mention the problem of keeping the hardware working. The main Debian master has a KISS

Re: Bug#965342: openjdk-15: Please update build configuration for sparc64

But Hotspot supported the previous version of OpenJDK. Is version 15 Hotspot not supported because changes are known to be needed, or just because the maintainers don't have the time to test it on SPARC? As you say it is sad. Java and SPARC are the SW/HW claims to fame of the Sun Corp. On

Re: General beginners questions for debian sparc64

Thomas Does your machine have FiberChannel disks (FC-AL?) There was a problem with the driver the last time I tried to install. That was a year ago, and I was too busy to fix it. My guess is that there is an endian problem in whatever boot code that calls the driver. I say that because the
