Hi

On the page

https://www.opencsw.org/packages/adobereader/

Version 9.4.1 is listed.

If i try to download using pkgutil only
Version 8.1.7 is delivered.

What do I need to do to download the new version?

Thanks,
Marcel

For some reason 9.4.1 is only for i386 (I checked unstable for 5.10),
the older version is for Sparc which I assume you're referring to.
There's one days difference between them. Maybe there was some build
problem on Sparc?

Hopefully Dago (maintainer of that package) can clear up the confusion.

Version 8 is only available for Sparc whereas version 9 is only available for x86:

The versions have been published by adobe for these platforms only and are merely repackaged
binaries conforming the OpenCSW directory layout. So unfortunately you will need to stick witg
version 8 for Sparc.

8.1.7 SPARC's splash gives its data as 10/08/2009.  Reader 8 on S8 is slow.  S11 had
desktop/pdf-viewer/evince the (then) Gnome PDF reader; same era (c) 2009 v2.30.0 that is
much faster.

Credit to them for keeping the ftp site, however they've purged the Solaris versions from
the tree:

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.4.1 the version you mentioned, has been
stripped to Linux packages only.

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/8.x/8.1.7 in OpenCSW is the final 8.x version
(and, again, they've now purged the archive down to Linux only).

Back then, they wanted UKP 1,500 for  "FrameMaker 8 - Unix version" Full vers.
The installation guide for that is (C) 2007 on their 2016 uploads
https://www.frameusers.com/uploads/2016/02/FM8_unix_install.pdf

I think one can read into this that Adobe lost interest in SunOS/SPARC c. 2007-2009 so
anything later from them (to run on S10+ SPARC) just doesn't exist.

thanks for the feedback.

would be nice if the platforms and version could be mentioned on the 
webpage.

and maybe worth mentioning somewhere

the reader v8 on sparc does not work anymore
on newer Solaris 11.4 SRU's.

On Solaris 11.4 SRU56 we see

Unfortunately I can?t help here - I am only using Solaris on the server side.

Indeed this would be useful in your specific case, but I doubt we change that.
@Peter: Or do you want to tackle it? ;-)
