maintaining a GNUstep Solaris 8 SPARC portation

[Chris Beaham]

Hi Everyone

Is there anyone interested in maintaining a GNUstep Solaris 8 SPARC 
portation as 3rd Party package, and providing support and services for 
this as a product under contract?  BTW, please inform me if this might 
violate any type of licensing.  Or can anyone indicate to me if such a 
beast already exists and who's responsible for it?  It seems that 
Solaris is a bit exotic with regards to GNUstep (the majority of the 
Steppers are using Linux or a BSD variant) and we currently lack the 
time and resources needed to keep track of each release and the 
subsequent patches, and at the same time actually get some programming 
accomplished.  We have made several attempts in the past to install 
everything and get started, but it seems that we always managed to get 
stuck with some Solaris related problem/bug/workaround or new compiler 
version and never got a chance to write code.  We are also very 
interested in using GDL2 with PostgreSQL which makes the installation 
more difficult and the learning curve even steeper.  If anyone is brave 
enough, or for that matter crazy enough, to have any interest in this 
proposal, please contact me by mail or by phone.  Thanks!

Very best regards,
