I fail to see what we can learn from a platform that ships a gcc version that is too old to compile libz, for example. Except that its frustrating to manually bring up a toolchain and the importance of a working package management system to keep your unix flavor alive.
Dead platforms are, at the end of the day, a brake on the development process. Most issues will just be braindamage that goes to show why the dead platform was abandoned in the first place. We don't even learn anything about other processor architectures here since, at the end of the day, only the gcc x86 code generation is used. Its fun and games to see if Sage compiles on OpenSolaris, say, but it shouldn't be a primary platform. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
