this patch series removes the broken SPARC support. Reasons:
- It's broken, i wasted enough time already trying to fix that
It's sad to hear. Can you be more verbose on brokenness, please? Eg. namely what Sparc platform were you using for development?
- Nobody cares - I sent an e-mail to everyone ever related to
Wine/SPARC based on addresses from our mailing lists - no answer in a week (and cw also has no customers for it)
You didn't catch this then: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2004-October/030355.html I care :)
- If someone _would_ care the right thing to do would be a clean SPARC
64-bit port
So, the old port was 32-bit or mixed or what?
- It really can confuse people (more than a ARM/ARM64 port xD)
You mean random readers about host platforms Wine runs on;)?
- SPARC is dead on the Desktop
:(
And last but not least: I had a bad experience with the Solaris community regarding Wine/SPARC
Oh. Is there any related public messages on the net? It would interesting to read and know those stories.
