Is there any Solaris solution for Prince or any way to run Prince remotely from a Solaris server? Thanks.

Currently Prince only runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS/X. We may also offer a Solaris/x86 version in the future.

just wondering if there has been any progress made on the solaris port and if there is a timeframe at all?

Not yet, we have added support for FreeBSD, but at the moment we are building Prince packages on virtual servers using VMware, and that won't work for Solaris/Sparc. Perhaps we could set up an OpenSolaris/x86 build though; would that be useful?

Open Solaris/x86 is actually exactly what I am looking for.

In that case it looks as if we should be able to set up an OpenSolaris/x86 server running under VMware. I've added this to the roadmap for the next release.

thanks, that would be great.

Excellent!

When is the next release scheduled to ship?

Lately we have been shipping maintenance releases every one or two months, so it should be ready before the end of the year.

Now that we are looking at building an OpenSolaris/x86 package for Prince, which distributions of OpenSolaris are people using? We want to ensure library compatibility with the most common version.

we are using:

SunOS 5.11 snv_67 i86pc i386 i86pc

This is on a Intel x86 machine.

Today we have released Prince 6.0 rev 5, with a package available for Solaris 10 (x86).
