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 software packages.

If you demand support, have suggestions or complains just write us! Where are here, and we are listen carfully. Drop us your comments at any time to: contact[\at/]sunfreepacks.com

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.
