Hi All, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
As of today, the 2005.1 profiles for sparc32 and sparc64 have been |
| 7 |
deprecated. The major change this will cause is that Java is no longer |
| 8 |
supported. Basically the SPARC port for the one Java solution that was |
| 9 |
available (blackdown) has the following issues: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* Outstanding security issues |
| 13 |
* Very unstable performance, particularly on SMP systems |
| 14 |
* Version of glibc it needed was holding the toolchain back. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If Java becomes a viable option again, an update will be posted. |
| 18 |

Cheers, |
