Solaris 10 5.0 build released!

[dijichi2]

UPDATE: August 22nd 2008
==================

5.0.9_GA_2546.SOLARIS10_i386 released
x86 only for now, Sparc to follow.

WARNING: This is not a heavily tested release yet. Please exercise caution. BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP before upgrading.

Sun are now assisting me with this port which is making things much easier. Many thanks to Sun, in particular Siva for their help so far.

Release highlights:
- Synched to 5.0.9 release codebase
- x86 binaries only for now, patchsets and Sparc binary to follow
- Initial Proxy support
- SMF support reverted to Init scripts. SMF xml manifests still exist in /opt/zimbra/libexec/smf but not imported or activated by default.
- All code now compiled with Sun Studio, should be faster/more stable. GCC removed entirely as build and runtime dependency.

Next release:
For 5.0.10 release, here is what we hope to achieve:
- Support Solaris 11 (Express) and OpenSolaris.
- Eliminate Blastwave dependencies entirely.
- Make stats work.
- Finish SMF and switch from legacy init system.
- Produce and submit official patchset for inclusion into main codebase.

Fantastic!!!! This thread is so getting stickied!

Thanks so much for sticking with this. Now I'll use your documentation to get it build on a spare blade 100 I have sitting here.

[dijichi2]

I think the documentation warns not to use it to build yet! Sorry, I haven't been a good boy and documented as I went along. I'm producing another build this weekend with some fixes, will try and produce the docs and patches as well.

Thanks dijichi2 for your efforts putting this together. I will let you know how testing goes... BTW - love the name of your blog...

So far so good, great job. I'm building the SMF xml scripts right now.
These are the basic dependencies I think Zimbra should have. Suggestions or additions please comment.

5.0.2_1982-TEST7 released. This fixes numerous installer/upgrade bugs - clearly I hadn't tested this on a clean system. Sorry about that, this one should work much better.
<snip>- If anyone could donate the use of a SPARC box for a couple of days would be much appreciated, I would love to get a SPARC build out.

Have fun! Please let me know how you get on, in particular any bugs/problems you have installing and running.

Depends what you mean by "donate"; if you mean gain remote access to one, then I might be able to help (is a T1000, to be specific).

[dijichi2]

yes please! just looking for remote access, don't need it shipped over or anything if you can help please pm me, would be a really great help.

Hello dijichi2:

I've been trying to access your updated release on your website, but it appears to be down now for a couple of days... is this only temporary or has your site been taken down permanently (or changed)?

[dijichi2]

sorry, i'm doing a new spangly one as quick as I can. pm me if you want to download one of the files, I still have those fortunately
