 (hypothetical) solaris package
The rpms install everything you need to run the system, modulo a few minor things that you should have installed anyway (libbind, sudo, etc).
As KevinH mentioned, tho, it would be solaris x86 - solaris 10, actually. The chances of a sparc build are pretty slim - we don't have any sparc hardware here, and aren't likely to buy any.
As for FreeBSD - that's not high on the list, and if installing java on it is so difficult, I can't see going through the process, since it's not _that_ popular a system for enterprise. (For enterprise, I said - don't flame me, if it's your distro of choice - I'm not opposed to BSD per se...)
Bottom line is, we're expanding our distro support as time and resources permit, and trying to hit the ones that are most likely to be seen in enterprise settings. We, and our investors, want to be successful, which means that we have to make some hard choices in this area.
(That said, the more the merrier - our software is cool, and we want as many people using it as possible, so nothing's off the table.)  |
