The APS has been moving away from using Solaris for several years.
Currently we have about 40 Solaris SPARC workstations left in active
use, and now just 2 Solaris x86 workstations remain.
One of those 2 is the workstation that we (Janet Anderson and I) use for
testing EPICS builds of the solaris-x86 and solaris-x86_64 targets,
while the other is the workstation belonging to our IT group for
supporting the first. As a result we are about to lose our ability to
build, test and support EPICS on Solaris x86 systems.
If anyone is currently using the EPICS solaris-x86 host architectures
please let me know; you will have to take on the responsibility for
building and testing EPICS Base on these architectures in the future. If
nobody responds we will remove the configuration files for these
architectures from future releases of EPICS Base and delete them from
the list of supported targets.
Our ability to support EPICS on Solaris SPARC will continue for some
time (my guess is it will be at least a year, probably more) until the
other technical groups can upgrade or replace those parts of the APS
Accelerator control system that still rely on Solaris.
