nothing is generally copied and nothing is really being built. I dont
have the time to be able build and maintain the SPARC port by myself.
My interest is greatly diminished since oracle brought out sun as there
seems to really be no interest from oracle in working on linux for
SPARC. If people want to continue to have a SPARC fedora port it
really needs to have some people step up and help.
I recently have scrapped a E4500 (half a rack with disk arrays) as an
exchange for a much more powerfull AMD machine (few U). No floor space
and enough free time for both, especially the first one.
I mirror the Oracle OEL (on this new machine). I have asked people
propagating this distribution about OEL on Sparc but got no answer.
Weird - they want to have their own RHEL and they produce Sparc machines
but cannot (do not want?) connect these two things together. The are
also not interested in mirroring patches to their distribution. The same
malaise seems to affect many other of their activities - Solaris,
OpenOffice, customers support.
