Remove Solaris support in ATS #5553

Open bryancall opened 5 years ago

postwait commented 5 years ago

We run ATS on Illumos (which is the Solaris support).

However, given the leak adoption of this, I'd just -0 this instead of a -1.

If there is positive support for this, I am supportive.

The problem is that we have no ways to test / build anything on Solaris, at least not right now. If someone is willing to setup a build system for Solaris (and manage it), that the Jenkins CI can "ssh" to, that would help. In addition, we would need someone who's interested / willing to help out if / when we get build issues on the Solaris platform. If we can resolve those two issues, we can revisit.

bryancall commented 5 years ago

@postwait Are you willing to run a build system for Solaris and manage it? Also, fixing any issues that come up?

postwait commented 5 years ago

Manage yes, I don't have the resources to run it. If it's an AWS node I can admin it.

zwoop commented 5 years ago

We currently only have resources on RackSpace, which afaik, has no way of deploying Solaris. At least not last time we looked. That much said, we've already maxed out our spend on the RackSpace donation, and would have to sacrifice other builds (linux / FreeBSD) for dedicated Solaris build systems.

What we would need too is 3x dual core systems at a minimum, same as we allocated for the FreeBSD builds on RackSpace. Anything less than that and the CI falls behind, since we would want this to build on the Github PRs IMO.

Unless we can get such resources somehow (maybe AWS or ASF can donate?), I don't see how we could continue to support this platform.

postwait commented 5 years ago

I completely agree with that assessment.

bryancall commented 5 years ago

We should push this off until ATS 10 and if there hasn't been any progress on setting up CI with Solaris then we should remove the code.

bryancall commented 4 years ago

I have been talking to Leif more about this. I am OK with saying we don't support Solaris for ATS 9, since it is not working anyway and then remove the code for ATS 10.

postwait commented 4 years ago

I am also supportive of this. Drop the baggage.

I know it's been a long time but I think it could be useful. I can't promise anything but, I'll see if I can get (I'd do my best and the impossible) the hardware you need to resume support. The issue is... are you interested in resuming support?
