Comment(by drkirkby):
I find it hard to believe it could be much simpler to test a package on
Solaris using the instructions at
http://wiki.sagemath.org/devel/Building-Sage-on-the-T5240-t2
which require the user to
* Add 3 lines to the bottom of their $HOME/.profile
* Extract the file
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/sage/solaris/sage-4.3.0.1.tar
* incorporate their changes.
* Log into 't2'
* Type 'make'
Is that hard or unreasonable, given the notes in the developers guide,
installation guide and the contents of the email I just posted from
William?
Looking at the patches, I doubt this will have any Solaris specific
issues, but it would be appreciated very much if someone could check it.
The patches are quite old, so there should be no issues with the fact the
current version for Solaris is a month or two old.
I believe the issues which caused the library to fail to build recently
have probably been resolved, so soon the latest version of Sage should
build OK.
Micheal was paid full-time to work on the Solaris port, though I realise
he did do other things too. I know for a fact he was actually appointed to
do the Solaris port. He has been the only full-time paid employee for the
Sage project.
Given the hardware costs and Micheal's salary, it is probably not
unreasonable to estimate around $100,000 has been spent on the Solaris
port.
