Heartbeat reached reasonably good shape for Solaris about a year ago. But it sorely needs folk such as you to help us keep it that way. I think there are quite a few people who use it, but the number of people going deeper and helping to debug and maintain it is considerably fewer. (The fingers of one hand are probably more than sufficent for counting purposes...) Since the re-working to separate the 'heartbeat' and 'pacemaker' components, it is likely that "bit rot" may have set in, and I (whose heartbeat work is principally spare-time and voluntary) haven't had the chance to keep track of creeping buglets. So if you can spare any time to building heartbeat and/or pacemaker on Solaris, and doing a little investigation into any problems that might arise, then please feel encouraged to do so (probably preferentially reporting to "linux-ha-dev" rather than "linux-ha"). -- : David Lee I.T.
