Solaris 8 source code?

Post by AYBABTU »

Sun did distribute the source code for Solaris 8. It seems there were some restrictions, but I haven't found a description of the details.

I have found binary distributions of Solaris 8, but not the source. Has anyone seen such a package?

I'm pretty sure there's some Solaris source code on the FTP. I'm not sure which version it is though, and I can't access the FTP from work so I can't check right now...
I upload stuff to archive.org from time to time. See here for everything that doesn't fit BA

That is wonderful news. I have been searching for the Solaris 8 source code for quite some time. OP, could you please share where you found the Solaris 8 binaries?

It probably is, but that's likely not where OP found it. That place (OP's), however, might (remote possibility, but still...) other stuff that's not on the FTP, so it wouldn't hurt to look around there.
