Hi Anders, A compile on Solaris would be most welcome. I think it might be a good idea to ignore the client kernel code in the first instance and get venus and the servers going. For the client kernel code, there are a couple of alternatives. First with the Solaris kernel development kit, it shouldn't be too hard - particularly given that one can learn from the ARLA code. On the other hand, kernel code is always very time consuming to debug. Another possibility is to use an NFS/Coda translator that offers a modified NFS server inside Venus, running on the Coda client. It doesn't give all of the benefits of a native client implementation, but it would run, without kernel modules on any client which has an NFS file system, and offer disconnected operation. Paola Scherman pscherman_at_waelder.com.ar and Sergio Romano sergio_at_arroba.com.ar have been working on this and are reasonably far along. Let me know about any progress you are making! - Peter - ----- Original Message ----- From: Anders Hammarquist <iko_at_cd.chalmers.se> To: <codalist_at_TELEMANN.CODA.CS.CMU.EDU> Sent: Saturday, April 03, 1999 10:52 PM Subject: Other OSes? : Hi, : : I have a vague memory of someone thinking about/doing a Solaris port a while : back.
