I guess that's me? Should I drink a few too many beers and demand that
any other closeted Solaris users reveal themselves? :-]
Of course, I use RPM to build open source stuff on Solaris, instead of the
native packaging tools... I *hate* the stupid /opt thing, and install in
/usr/local/* instead. I suppose if there were more than one person
interested in a Solaris build I could create a relocatable package and
offer that.
Oh! And remember I'd reported a strange crash a while back that I just
couldn't figure out? I deleted my .xconq/prefs.xcq and haven't had a
problem since. Hmmm.
Here's the bogus one:
((default-myname "John Doe") (default-joinport "3075") (default-joinhost
"localhost") (checkpoint-interval 10) (default-font-size 10)
(default-font-family "helvetica") (default-draw-transitions 1)
(default-draw-terrain-patterns 0) (default-draw-terrain-images 1)
(default-draw-ai 0) (default-meridian-interval 600)
(default-draw-meridians 0) (default-draw-feature-boundaries 0)
(default-draw-feature-names 0) (default-draw-unit-names 0)
(default-draw-clouds 0) (default-draw-winds 0) (default-draw-temperature
0) (default-draw-control 0) (default-draw-people 0) (default-draw-lighting
0) (default-draw-elevations 0) (default-draw-coverage 1)
(default-draw-grid 1) (default-power 5))
For whatever reason, using xconq with those prefs will cause it to crash
after 11 turns or so. "Doctor, it hurts when I go like THIS!" Yeah, so I
deleted that and things run great.
I look forward to doing another CVS snapshot build when things settle out
a bit. If another Solaris user chimes in with an interest in a pre-built
package once the eagerly anticipated 7.5.0 release is ready, I volunteer
to maintain it.
