per that doc :
The Go 1 release will be available in source and binary form for at least
these platforms:
FreeBSD 7+: amd64, 386
Linux 2.6+: amd64, 386, arm
OS X (Snow Leopard + Lion): amd64, 386
Windows (2000 + later): amd64, 386
Therefore not on Solaris 10 or even a baseline Solaris 8 at all.
That seems to be an issue given this :
People should be able to write Go programs and expect
that they will continue to compile and run without
change, on a timescale of years.
In keeping with the spirit of that vision what are the issues that block a
port to Solaris today? Are there specific bugids I can look at ?
Dennis
