Hi Antonio,
1) +1 for dropping Solaris.
I managed to download a Solaris Virtual Box image (3Gb) and install it
on my box (with a free subscription for myself). This may be good for
compiling for Solaris 11 X64, but not for Sparc. Haven't tried this path
yet, though.
It would be great if Oracle donated some hardware/cloud agent to the ASF
for cross-compilation in Solaris. This could be used by different Apache
projects also. Any Oraclers want to push this internally? General
instructions on how to host an external agent are here:
https://infra.apache.org/hosting-external-agent.html
2) Have you heard back from ASF infra in regard to macOS agents?
They're waiting for us to request them. AFAIU the request may or may not
go ahead (depending on budget and mainteinance costs, I imagine).
Since AWS now has macOS EC2 instances, maybe we could apply for promotional
credits for a Jenkins agent?
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/aws-promotional-credits-open-source-projects/
https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/mac/
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-17961
Azure has also macOS agents, but for Azure pipelines, not Jenkins.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/hosted?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml
List of tooling is impressive:

Shall I reopen INFRA-17961? If so we may want to have a list of things
we want to do with these agents. Things I can think of:
- Build the NetBeans shared libraries on MacOS.
- Build some CND shared libraries for MacOS.
- Build the installers? Are these APL-v2 licensed?
- Anything else?
Kind regards,
Antonio
P.S.: Both AWS and Azure are ASF platinum sponsors!
