SUNFREEPACKS.COM Announcement 20/02/2010

Dear sunfreepacks.com community,

since we have made available SXCE SNV b130 for download here on sunfreepacks.com many enquiries have been sent to us mentioning problems to download the ISO images.

First of all our apologies for the inconveniences this has caused you, but you'll be glad to know, that both snv_b130 ISO image files (sparc and x86) are NOT corrupt and work properly.

The download problems occurred where to a heavy bandwidth load caused by worldwide hits to sunfreepacks.com to download the ISO images. Precisely this was something we have foreseen as recently stated, that as per 27 January 2010 Oracle has removed all the SXCE SNV Builts from the Sun Microsystems download area and they have been no longer available. Unfortunately we just have had noted on 26 January 2010 that the SXCE SNV Builds will be removed from sun.com. Precisely due to this tight deadline we have not been able to repsond much earlier to the expected massive increase of bandwidth load so that we could have had ordered a higher bandwidth througput from our carriers.

Anyway we have by now put the matter right thanks to our new sunfreepacks.com sponsor stollfuss.net Germany who provided us with a free of charge load balancing service in order to spread and increase the throughput.

stollfuss.net is a small but highly motivated professional enterprise from Germany which provides e. g. Online Storage Solutions, Bandwidth & Data Mirroring Services adapted from their very fast and reliable Gentoo-Linux server machines. Furthermore stollfuss.net for years supports the Gentoo-Linux Community with their contribution to software package portings to Gentoo-Linux. We have to highlight as well, that stollfuss.net has provided sunfreepacks.com with an outstanding contribution to make us the first repository who released the Unreal-IRCd, an Internet Relay Chat system as a Solaris 10 Sparc™ package. The particular porting even had a significant impact to improvements of the Unreal-IRCd development and is considered in all future releases of the relay chat system.

Thank you, for making sunfreepacks.com one of the most considered online repositories for Solaris / openSolaris software packages.

SUNFREEPACKS.COM Announcement 30/01/2010

Dear sunfreepacks.com community,
The merge of Oracle and Sun Microsystems has indeed caused a few questions demanding an answer. On the one hand some of us may feel sad about that Sun Microsystems no longer operates as an independet company under its own trade mark and corporate identity. Personally, we share those feelings. But on the other hand, it is for all the great and reliable products Sun Microsystems is well known for, a good opportunity to move on with them and to continue their development.

The bad news first...
It has been announced on opensolaris.org, that SXCE Nevada Build 130 (snv_130) will be the final release and no other future releases will be provided. As per end of January 2010 SXCE Nevada Build 130, coupled with all earlier releases issued, will be removed completely from cds.sun.com and are no longer available for download. The product name Sun Solaris has now changed to Oracle Solaris, furthermore: the old sun.com web site now carries the Oracle logo - everything now seems to run under the name of Oracle. The last point mentioned is an issue what could have been foreseen as Orcale is well known for acquiring companies and after conclusion of the deal the brand is erased from the market.

Now the good ones...
Despite all, it won't prevent us, sunfreepacks.com, to continue our support for the Solaris operating system and deliver our contribution to make it the best operating system the planet has ever seen. We understand the desire of users and urgent needs of developers to test and maintain their packages and software on a particular SXCE release. With respect to all satisfied SXCE users and developers this evening we will provide for you downloads of SXCE Nevada Build 130 x86/sparc - Build 129 x86/sparc remains available as well.

For the new year you may look forward to a lot of changes at sunfreepacks.com. We will not only surprise you this year with a complete new design, we will launch a lot of more convenient facilities making package handling much easier for you.

Finally...
sunfreepacks.com would like to thank all the people relying on our package repository. Since launching the repository in December 2008 the amount of visitors, traffic and packages as well has increased continuous.

Thank you, for making sunfreepacks.com one of the most considered online repositories for Solaris / openSolaris software packages.

Archives & Packages for Solaris 10 Sparc
The sparc archives were compiled on a Sun Ultra-Sparc IIIi-CU platform running Solaris 10 generic 10/08 or later. As a compiler I have used either gcc-3.4.3, gcc-3.4.6 or SunStudio. Please note, that some of the procompiled packs for the sparc platform are currently available only as tar.gz file. So for this you need to follow with the given instruction for each single package.
