Like the subject line says. We're looking to see if anyone in
<br>
NZ/Australia has a SPARC (sun4u/sun4v) machine they'd be
willing to <br>
donate to the FractalKit project. FractalKit is a collection
of modern <br>
packages for Solaris 10/11 on SPARC, covering web servers
(Nginx 1.28, <br>
Apache 2.4.62), security (OpenSSL 3.4.0, GnuTLS 3.7), shell
utilities <br>
(coreutils 9.5, bash 5.3, zsh 5.9), tcsh), programming
languages (PHP <br>
8.4.1, Ruby 3.2.3, Perl 5.40.0, python 3.13), libraries and
development <br>
tools (too many to list), compilers (GCC 9.5.0 C, C++,
fortran, <br>
objective C), databases (SQLite 3.44.3, PostgreSQL 15.8,
MariaDB if we <br>
can get it to build), editors (nano 8.4, vim 9.1), and
replacements for <br>
network-facing services (primarily OpenSSH) that need to be
kept <br>
up-to-date, especially for those lacking MOS/Sunsolve access.
we're <br>
currently rebuilding the entire project from scratch after
realising we <br>
made some fatal errors, but we can send, on request, the full
previous <br>
build of FractalKit as a demonstration. However, we've run
into a <br>
problem: The only SPARC machine we have is a Sun Blade 150,
with a <br>
650MHz UltraSPARC-IIe, 768MiB of ram, and an IDE hard disk.
Does it <br>
compile things? Yes. Does it also take in excess of 24 hours
to build <br>
something like gcc? also yes. So we're looking for a bit of
SPARC kit, <br>
preferably SUN4V, that one of yall lovely entities would be
willing to <br>
send to us to help advance the project.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you in advance,<br>
<br>
<br>
Freya<br>
