New description:
The environment variable {{{SAGE_PORT}}}
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html
has to be set on systems such as AIX and HP-UX where Sage is not
supported. Currently this is also so on Solaris x86, despite the fact Sage
build fine and is fully supported on both !OpenSolaris x86 and Solaris 10
x86:
http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms
As such, the file
{{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base/prereq-0.7-install}}}
needs to be changed to remove this specific test for Solaris on x86. There
is also a minor typo with an "x" missing on a line where a test for
Solaris 2.6 is performed.
The new script will be installed as:
{{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base/prereq-0.8-install}}}
and the old one removed.
== Output on a Solaris x86 system ==
Here's the output shown with sage-4.7.alpha1 on a Solaris x86 system with
the environment variable {{{SAGE_PORT}}} not set.
{{{
Starting prerequisite check.
Machine: SunOS hawk 5.11 snv_134 i86pc i386 i86pc
Building or using Sage on non-Sparc Solaris is tricky and not supported
at the moment. It is possible, but you should be well aware that
some things do not work. Support for Solaris
on non-SPARC hardware is actively being worked on.
More information can be found about Sage on Solaris
on the Wiki at http://wiki.sagemath.org/solaris
To get past this message, export the variable SAGE_PORT to
something non-empty.

Here's the output of sage-4.7.alpha2, which has the changes applied. This
time the ''prereq'' script gets run, without Sage exiting.

== Notes for reviewer ==
You only need to check the changes between the two scripts - ignore the
tar file that the script opens. That is the subject of another ticket
#9978.
When testing, you will need to copy the file {{{prereq-0.8.tar}}} attached
to #9978 to {{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base/}}}.
Both the script and the tar file must have the same version number (0.8).
== Notes for the release manager ==
This ticket depends on #9978. This and #9978 must be updated together.
Both have positive review.
* The tar file {{{prereq-0.8.tar}}}, attached to #9978 should be
installed as {{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base/prereq-0.8.tar}}}. It is listed in
.hgignore,so there's no need to change the repository for this.
* The tar file {{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base/prereq-0.7.tar}}} should be
removed.
* Apply [attachment:trac_11070-base-repo.patch] to the repository in
spkg/base.
