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

Hi I am not sure as to why do you want to look at Solaris 8 and 9 on x86 platforms. As part of the WebStack project within OpenSolaris (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/webstack/), we are working towards integrating and improving the PHP experience on OpenSolaris (post Solaris 10). So, you are welcome to be involved with this project and provide your valuable feedback as well. thanks Sriram. Rob Thompson wrote:

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
