All, |

I recently noticed ISC bind people went on a killing spree for "old" |
4 |
systems and removed support for many older systems, including Solaris |
5 |
10. GCC still supports it, but it's deprecated already. Solaris 10 |
6 |
should be in "Extendended support or Sustaining support" mode, since Feb |
7 |
1st 2018. It's not really dead yet, but it won't get any improvements, |
8 |
or something like that. |

I've been running an old Sun Blade 100 (UltraSPARC IIe 500MHz) with |
11 |
Solaris 10 for years, it's been doing the sparc and sparcv9 targets on |
12 |
bootstraps (have patience :) ) successfully not too long ago: |

Since Solaris 11.4 isn't supported on this machine (heh), tribblix |
16 |
appears to be the only option if I want to run something more recent on |
17 |
the machine. This would effectively test illumnos (Solaris 11 isn't |
18 |
working for Prefix since its first appearance). |

|

Question here, are there still consumers for Solaris 10? I don't feel |
21 |
everything is broken beyond repair at this point. |

Thoughts? |
