[OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 for 32-bit Solaris -- followup

2014-09-25 Thread jay
I found a Java8 build for 32-bit Solaris on https://jdk8.java.net/lambda -- by its own admission, not the latest version of Java8, but it seems to be working for the purpose for which I needed it. I welcome the comments of others on this mailing list. Jay F. Shachter

Hi, I have already upgraded from /hipster-2014.1 which has fix in it: http://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/commit/35d2023cdaeba3486586ffb59e4f8a1ecc7a2c24 So, it affects all I guess, until bash is updated. Regards. On 09/25/14 10:42 AM, Jonathan Adams wrote:

I believe we mostly skirt the issue because, unlike Linux, the default shell (/bin/sh) is ksh93 not bash. This means that under normal conditions we shouldn't have an issue. Only if your cgi scripts actually request bash will apache be a problem. As for ssh, it depends upon the login shell
