Thanks, Mocja. When do you anticipate the new minimals to be stable and ready?
They are already ready in the sense that they're usable (I use them myself). The "unstable" part might be: - their location - "fetching scripts" (more support for modules should be added) - we need an intermediate testing step (to confirm that minimals work before updating the whole tree to the public) I have no idea about the dates. But as long as you don't neet to rely on the location to stay the same, feel free to use them and provide feedback.
I'm particularly interested in the Sun distribution since one is not provided by Pragma.
Almost everything needed for Sun is there already, except for the recent versions of LuaTeX & XeTeX (and probably some scripts including setuptex, first-setup.sh and mtx-update.lua need a minor update to recognise the platform properly). (pdfTeX & metapost are also from TeX Live, but that's not a problem) That's something that Arthur (or you?) should provide. I cannot make binaries for solaris myself. Mojca
