Hi, Is there anything new about Solaris or OpenIndiana since September? Right now, it seems like the cea-indiana-x86 buildbot slave is offline since longer than 54 days. Oracle decided to stop Solaris 12 development: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/01/oracle-sort-of-confirms-d

Thanks for the reality check Trent! I think if enough people with core committer bits want to keep supporting Solaris / Illumos / OpenIndiana / other variants that's fine, but I don't think that just having some VMs to test on is enough -- we also need people who can fix problems if those buildbots

I work for Joyent (joyent.com) now, which employs a number of devs that work on illumos (illumos.org). We also provide cloud infrastructure. Would it help if we offered one or more instances (VMs) on which to run buildbot slaves (and on which volunteers for bug fixing could hack)? I know a lot of

My guess is that Oracle owns the brand "Solaris" and its awful lawyers have done this. I don't think it's worth our time to support either Solaris or its descendants unless Oracle pays for it. It's too bad for the open source participants in OpenIndiana but realistically we just can't afford the di

Illumos, OpenIndiana et al are open source forks of Solaris. Back before the acquisition by Oracle, Sun open sourced the Solaris OS, called it OpenSolaris and encouraged projects to use it as an OS for x86 and other architectures. But after the acquisition, the OpenSolaris project seemed to end

Hi, My question is simple: do we officially support Solaris and/or OpenIndiana? Jesus Cea runs an OpenIndiana buildbot slave: http://buildbot.python.org/all/buildslaves/cea-indiana-x86 "Open Indiana 32 bits" The platform module of Python says "Solaris-2.11", I don't know the exact OpenIndiana ve
