Genesi is pleased to announce the release to the OpenSolaris /company/community of a long awaited update to the Solaris PowerPC code base. This release provides the /company/community with a functional Solaris PowerPC development environment on selected target platforms. This is a modest, but important step toward reaching the goal of developing the Solaris PowerPC port project to the point where it includes the latest source tree, provides a shell or single user prompt on the target platform, and has enhanced debugging, ie: KMDB. Community members are encouraged to check out the latest information on the Solaris PowerPC port project page and/or join the discussion list.

Genesi would particularly like to express it appreciation to Sun Labs for the effort they have made toward the success of this port.
