I do not have access to pre-Solaris 7 OS's right now but am writing some
tools to support those platforms as well.

Can anyone tell me what 'uname -r' shows for any Solaris platforms prior
to 2.7.

Thx,
CC

ITYM "7" there.


Solaris 2.6 - uname -r is "5.6"
Solaris 2.5.1 - uname -r is "5.5.1"
Solaris 2.5 - uname -r is "5.5"

See a pattern emerging? :-)

Tony, don't tell me that Sun still keeps Solaris 2.5 machines! Any Solaris
2.4 machine running? That was my first encounter with Solaris (was on SunOS
before that).

Bye, Dragan

They might well do, in some support lab somewhere. But I imagine
Tony, like most people here, knows the relatinship between the
Solaris release name and the SunOS version number that goes with it.

Same here! In fact, I just recently won an auction for a new, unopened,
copy of Solaris 1.1.2. :-)

We have all sorts of stuff sitting gently gathering dust in labs. In
fact the latest bootable image I have easy access to would be 2.5.1 FCS,
though if I dig about enough I could probably find a 2.0 CDROM somewhere
in the depths of a library.

I happen to remember that for Solaris 2.x (3<=x<=6) uname -r
returned 5.x (in fact I *think* that holds true for Solaris as far back
as 2.0) - the result of uname -r is the SunOS release, which is less
influenced by marketing considerations than is the Solaris name.

2.3 in my case. And I'm still running the same olvwm binary that I
compiled on that release, on a release *much* later than 2.3 :-)

what does 'uname -r' returns there: 1.1.2 or (more likely) 4.1.3 (it's been
a long time)?

You can still compile on Solaris 2.3, but you should update olvwm
from http://home.nyc.rr.com/twopks/olvwm/
It is faster, can handle GTK icons, and has several bugs fixed.

Last time I looked, I think 2.4 was still supported, so I certainly
*hope* they have some 2.4 machines! (I'd bet (very) small money that
they have some special-case expensive contracts causing them to keep
OSs older than that too...)

I think we've still got a Sparc 10 in our lab running Solaris 2.2 -
well, "running" may be a bit of a strech - it's installed, but I don't
think we've bothered plugging it in since moving into the new lab 2 1/2
years ago, so it may not actually run anymore.
