Heh-heh-heh. Ok, I'm sure we can find certain apps elsewhere, yet the point was really that many ported apps for Solaris have a home 'somewhere' and usually the maintainer may support specific hardware platforms or operating system releases. The 'one soup can for all' theory may not work in certain cases (current support for sun4m machines) and various package releases in official releases of Solaris and community releases of OpenSolaris (NV).
I could have said 'does libcairo exist on Solaris 8/9 today??' or something of that nature. We do need to have a collaboration of the minds and see what is the best way to support JDS/GNOME and KDE on SOlaris moving forward. A start today would be: 1. Updating to KDE >=3.4.3 and Koffice 1.4.2 on the Community CD 2. Providing the latest JDS (GNOME 2.12.x-based) on the OpenSolaris website. 3. Claiming **WE DO** support GNOME and KDE for any educational, business, and government organizations wanting to use those desktops. Pointing fingers only causes diversity in the mines.... ;oP ~ Ken Mays --- Stefan Teleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can easily sit here and ask where else can I > find Scribus or FlightGear > > (not to get too far off topic) other than > Blastwave?!? > > Scribus for Solaris has been available at KDE since > early 2004 and KDE 3.3.1 > > --Stefan > This message posted from opensolaris.org > _______________________________________________ > opensolaris-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
