> As Martin mentionned it on #8171, the Cbc package is to be optional,
exactly as it currently is. After all, #8171 is just an update. The .p2 is
present precisely because it is an update. I hesitated before writing it,
though, as the version of Cbc also changed. Do we increase the p# when the
version of the source is fixed, and change it otherwise ? As the source
changed (I updated it), do I need to "go back" to p0 ?
Neither. See:
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/developer/patching_spkgs.html
If the version is changed from the upstream source code, then the new
package should be called by that version number, and nothing else - not
even p0. Once the first patch to that is made, it becomes p0.

know I can check it on the internet very quickly, and this is exactly what
I intend to do, but in the end this is where my knowledge of it will stop.
I have absolutely no idea how to deal with it...

Solaris is a Unix operating system. Unlike Linux, which is a Unix-like
operating system, Solaris is officially classified as a POSIX compliant
Unix operating system. It was created by Sun, who were recently bought by
Oracle for $7 billion. Sage builds on Solaris 10 and soon will be an
officially supported operating system, just as some linux distributions
are.
't2', which people refer to is a Sun T5240 machine with two SPARC
processors. (The SPARC processor is similar to the Intel/AMD processors,
though not identical). Each processor has 64-threads (128 in total).
For any package to become a standard part of Sage, then it will need to
build on Solaris 10 on SPARC. I'm unsure of the situation with optional
packages. I don't mind helping if you have specific problems, but I am not
going to do all the testing for you.
When I checked the IBM web site, the library was available for Solaris.
