Re: My musings on... a Solaris test platform

It would be interesting, yes. My university has been discontinuing the Solaris servers and now I only have access to an ancient Solaris 7 server. Even more interesting would be to get your patches to fix those bugs :) Thanks, Nuno ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Thompson" <ab5602@wayne.edu> To: <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 3:36 AM Subject: [PHP-DEV] My musings on... a Solaris test platform

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. I work at a University that heavily uses the PHP code base and have personally been actively working at trying to better the code in support of Solaris quirks/bugs. Would the following be a benefit to PHP developers, or not really worth the time, or somewhere in-between? A set of systems with up-to-date OSs, logins and GDB available to PHP developers to test and debug PHP under the following OSs: - Solaris 8 x86 - Solaris 8 sparc - Solaris 9 x86 - Solaris 9 sparc - Solaris 10 x86 - Solaris 10 sparc I could try to convince the powers that be to allow me to setup this environment, if there would be interest and use. Thanks, -Rob
