Given the lack of information, and just for both sides, someone mentioned in another thread the _possibility_ that Opera has a situation that's their code making unwarranted assumptions (written to their favored implementations rather than to the standards) rather than a bug.
Personally I think all bug reports should be accepted (and eventually evaluated). But for feedback, or even evaluation in any particular timeframe, one should expect to have to pay for support. And if it's not a bug, one should expect to have to pay for assistance in dealing with the problem, whatever it might be. I _would_ note that there where quite a few releases of Opera (can't remember when it last _did_ work) where Opera on SPARC Solaris wouldn't work with Flash (although AFAIK it worked ok on x86; that sounds suspiciously like a byte order or alignment problem, to me). So it's even remotely possible that there are more than two parties affecting their decision. I like Solaris. Up to now, I've mostly liked Opera, although it's usually my 2nd (or on a Mac, 3rd perhaps) choice among browsers. I particularly like that it's less of a pig left running for long periods of time, and that it's fast. Given the lack of complete and authoritative information, I don't want to be too quick to blame Opera, Oracle (or even Adobe, although anymore I wouldn't mind an excuse to blame them for something), for the discontinuing of Opera on Solaris. I _suspect_ that it may be more along the lines of an unfortunate combination of misunderstanding and neglect than anything else. I wish they'd have found a way to realize mutual benefit instead. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
