Comment 1

Starting with 0.1.32, the fix is not as straightforward.  We now implement a binary component that links against NSS, so SunOS support would require a SunOS build (one for each platform, in fact).

Comment 2

[Jesper Hansen]

Should be reviewed against 0.2.6
Confirmation again 0.2.6 possible?

Comment 3

[Ray Krebs]

0.2.6 fails to install now  due to the error of it not being compatible build type.

pop-up during extension update:
"Weave" could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Firefox built type (SunOS_sparc-sunc).  Please contact the author of this item about the problem.

So it's a bit more broken now for Solaris clients.

Comment 4

[Dan Mills [:thunder]]

There are two issues here:

1) does Weave build on Solaris
2) does the default Weave binary work on solaris (i.e., do we build on Solaris)

I would suggest you keep this bug limited to (1).  (2) is not likely to be solved soon, as we don't have the hardware (and don't really want to maintain extra hardware, either).
