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, |
