[sagetrac-drkirkby]

Sage version 4.3.4.alpha1 is the first release to actually build and pass all doc tests (including long ones) on Solaris 10 (SPARC).

A list is given of the successes and failures when trying to install the optional packages. The system used was:

Hardware & associated software

• Sun Blade 1000
• 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ CPUs
• 2 GB RAM

• gcc 4.4.3 (uses Sun linker and assembler)

== Sage version ==

• 4.3.4.alpha1
• Patch Ilegal 'grep -o' causes problems installing optional packages on Solaris #8509 removing the -o option to grep to allow optional packages to install.

Removing fixed ones, and also

• frobby-0.7.6 Experimental package frobby-0.7.6 fails to install on Solaris 10 SPARC #8515
  because it is now an experimental spkg. Updating Experimental package frobby-0.7.6 fails to install on Solaris 10 SPARC #8515 accordingly.
