Re: [Condor-users] Condor for Solaris 10?

["Erik Paulson" <epaulson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's also entirely possible that the checkpoint server will run under
the Linux emulator for Solaris (I wouldn't be surprised if the other
daemons don't, including the master, but the ckpt server stands a
better chance)

Once upon a time, Condor fully supported Solaris/x86, including checkpointing.
Getting a clipped version running again wouldn't be hard, but I don't
know if anyone is working on it, and really, I don't think the Condor
Team had a lot of demand for it (a few "it'd be nice")

Personally, I'm so frustrated with Solaris/x86 that I decided it
wasn't worth a Saturday to spend firing up VMware and getting it
ported, especially now that spring is arriving after a very long
winter. If, on a cold rainy fall day later this year, if Solaris
hasn't become completely irrelevant I'll spend the time if no one else
has done anything about it.
