[osol-discuss] Re: Binary compatibility between OpenSolaris and Sun Solaris? Cross-compile?
I thought that it was obvious that an OpenSolaris based product cannot be compatible to Sun Solaris 10. Why would that be obvious? I've compiled binaries on Nevada and ran them on Solaris 10 without a hitch, so no, it is not obvious. To be fair, I recently compiled something on Solaris 10 and had it bomb out on Solaris with respect to libC.so. I was quite shocked, because it was the first time ever I saw something like that on Solaris (and any System V UNIX), but let it slide. And BTW: people who write lines longer than 79 characters are responsible for the fact that there is a high probability that not all of the text is read correctly. Wrapping lines correctly is the job of the MUA. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

The RFC also says it is encumbant upon implementations which display messages to handle an arbitrarily large number of characters in a line (certainly at least up to the 998 character limit) for the sake of robustness...

Thanks Jörg! I'm downloading ShilliX now to try it out... BTW, can it mount ReiserFS? This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
