I just submitted most of our patches to matplotlib upstream and most
were incorporated into the main matplotlib trunk. One patch remains,
which is applied only when `uname`="SunOS" and applies to a C++ file.
In response to this patch (below), the main developer of matplotlib sent
the following. I know there are people on this list that are very
fluent in Solaris things; if we can get this patch into matplotlib, then
there will be fewer patches we have to maintain and everyone benefits.
Can someone here comment on John Hunter's message below? I can forward
the replies to the matplotlib-devel list.
Also, William, can we offer John Hunter an account on some of the Sage
servers to test on? Maybe the Solaris servers too?
The patch:
ttconv/pprdrv_tt2.cpp: This patch is *only* applied when `uname` =
"SunOS". The comment is: Copy patched version of pprdrv_tt2.cpp for
Solaris 10 that builds with gcc 4.3.2.

The reply from John Hunter on the matplotlib-devel list:

I can try and take a look at this tomorrow. I do have a solaris box
at work to test on, but we are on an older version of gcc. Ideally,
we could find a c preprocessor macro to indicate the platform rather
than do an uname conditioned patch. If anyone knows of a platform
macro for solaris to check for, let me know.
Thanks,
Jason
