Hi,

Being an intermediate-level user who have difficulties compiling software
under Solaris I have some packages requests to do... I think I speak for
everybody when I say that a package of Videolan VLC Media Player should have
been done a long time ago... Personally I use Solaris SPARC edition on a Sun
Blade 2500, so I practically depend on your website regarding what I can and
can¹t do with my machine that I bought just for the fun of working on
Solaris SPARC... Most of the dependencies for VLC are already available as
packages on your website, we could almost say that the only thing not
available is the graphical user interface to glue everything together... VLC
version 0.76 was available for a time but it seem to have been phased out...
The latest version is 2.0.5, I couldn¹t believe nobody with enough knowledge
wouldn't want to take a few hours to compile it, I really believe it would
be monstruously appreciated by everybody, personally I don't have enough
knowledge to do it myself...

Some others nice packages would be the Bochs x86 emulator, the Basilisk II
Mac68k emulator and some Super Nintendo/Nintendo 8-bits emulators to play
games, many of them are already available for Uni*...

Thanks for reading this and have a nice day
