Yes, congratulations!

Thank you Marshall.

Hopefully, Solaris can soon become "fully supported" if all tests are passing.

As long as the releases are handled carefully, and code not committed that breaks on Solaris, we should be able to get OpenSolaris building.

Having a faster machine than 't2' on sage.math would be really nice. It's a real shame, as 't2' is capable of very high performance at low power consumption for the tasks it is designed for, but I find using a 10-year old machine quicker for Sage development.

Once OpenSolaris is up and running, we could put it in a VM on boxen, and use it as part of the build farm. Of course that won't be a true Sparc solaris machine, but unless someone has extra money/hardware laying around it'll probably be a more realistic solution that waiting on t2 throughout the whole release management process.
