Hello, I've been thinking about Solaris support for PHP and some of the difficulty surrounding reproducing bugs under different Solaris OS versions, not to mention OS patch versions.
If you cant get traction feeding Sun-specific patches upstream, you should you should work with the Pkgsrc people. Pkgsrc can save Solaris (in that Stabbing Westward sense). See: http://pkgsrc.habel.name/packages/SunOS-5.9-sparc/lang/ php-5.2.3nb2.tgz 2007-Jun-10 11:53:47 3.2M application/x-tgz php-5.2.3nb3.tgz 2007-Sep-27 16:54:00 3.2M application/x-tgz http://www.pkgsrc.org/ They're experts at resolving toolchain and portability problems. They're also not likely to turn down access to hardware for bulk-build machines. Oh and bug reports wont get closed as "Won't fix" :) ~BAS
