When will 11gR2 be available for Solaris?

It's been three weeks since the release so I'm curious if anyone knows of a date for when 11gR2 for Solaris will be released?
Thanks!

Oracle's policy has been to ensure all supported versions of an OS are treated the same at the time of an Oracle s/w release - if they are available, all features for an Oracle release will have been tested and, as far as feasible, will work the same with the exception of performance.
I admire Oracle's consistency.
I am saddened by people who seem to not accept that Oracle customers may be at a wide variety of supported versions of an OS and should be supported by Oracle product.You certainly have a respectable viewpoint.
I personally was (and am) most saddened at no 11g release at all on the Solaris x86_64 platform. I sometimes wonder if that was political reasons rather than technical or straightforward business decisions.
I generally think that for most Solaris customers moving to 11gR2 the business case would be overwhelming to move to Solaris 10 at the same time (exception might be a client only install). 11gR1 and lower are available to customers wishing to remain below Solaris 10.
What moving to solaris 10 would give is the ability to ensure concentration was made to intergrate well with the Solaris SMF facility rather than a dual SMF/legacy approach; and I'm not sure Oracle can really put in the resources to support both well.
I really dont think are in the upgrade catch-22 that used to occur (but I may be wrong here) .... for instance when Sun ultrasparcs needed Solaris 2.5/2.51 and that Oracle 7.1.4 was not supported on that release (7.1.4 was only supported to Solaris 2.4) . However 7.1.6.2 (which ws the terminal 7.1 release) would not run Oracle Forms 2.3 correctly for existing applications (it finally would (and would do so excellently) with a few patches but 7.1.6.2 had burnt a development DBA badly by that point, nd 7.3 was not an option as that was not compatible with forms 2.3). The upgrade plans for the E-Business Suite on a Sparc 1000 containing dev/test/prod on same Solaris 2.3 server were even more of a nightmare in that era.

Having said that the main pain would probably be that some Solaris 8 / Solaris 9 servers out there may be tight for space on partitions containing root, /usr and /var and an upgrade to solaris 10 might require some shunting and shuffling. If overall server space is an issue then IMHO going to 11gR2 needs to be thought carefully anyway.
Hans - you've made me feel guilty :_| ... I :x all of Solaris 2.4/2.51/2.6/8/9/10u3+

    My i7 2010 iMac can't run AirPlay yet.  When will this become available for the rest of us??

    when will airplay be available for other iMac?
    Probably never.
    Airplay mirroring is only available on these models:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    It will presumably become available on future Mac releases. For everyone else, there's the third-party, AirParrot.

    I have an android lg optimus s phone...I love firefox and id really love to use it as a browser for my phone.....when will it be available for my model cellphone?

    Firefox requires an cpu that supports ARMv7. The LG Optimus S supports ARMv6. Unfortunately our tests on ARMv6 have shown that the cpu is just too slow to support Firefox.

  • When will firefox be available for ipad mini

    when will firefox be available for ipad mini

    Apple requires all web browsers in ios to use it's web browser framework.  Apple has done most of the work for writing a web browser app.  That is why you see so many web browsers in ios.  Firefox doesn't use this framework on the Mac.  It would have to toss much of the firefox code and replace it with Apple's framework.
    If you need a web browser with more features, try iCab.

  • When will FaceTime be available for other Platforms?

    When will FaceTime be available for other Platforms? Steve Jobs, the CEO of the company at the time, said Apple was working on making FaceTime an Open standard.
    With already so many FaceTime enabled devices out there, and with so many financially strapped individuals relying on the cheaper android devices for both their phone and there Internet, opening up FaceTime to all other platforms will make facetime the default videoconference utility. I want to see this implemented for medical calls to nurses and providers in helping them to assess patients from a distance that are unable to travel. Visual/live communication would be a breakthrough.
    This can already be implemented with patients who have a iOS devices, or trying to get them to download app that other devices can use....but it is not as seamless as FaceTime. When will this promis be fulfilled?

    There are no other options for using FaceTime. GG was referring to other services with a similar functionality such as Skype. Again, none of us here knows what Apple has planned for FaceTime nor when, or indeed if, they will ever open up FaceTime to other developers.
    Regards.

  • When will Siri be available for the iPod Touch and the iPad?

    When will Siri be available for the iPod Touch and the iPad? Really wish Siri would be expanded to other high end Apple devises like the iPod Touch 4th generation and the new iPad instead of it just being iPhone 4S exclusive. That's such a cool feature!

    Well.. Me and one of my good friends both have iPod Touch 4th gen 32gb's and my friend read on the Technobuffalo website that IOS 5.1 was suppose to come with Siri for the iPod touch and probably the iPad and I updated my iPod 4th gen to IOS 5.1 and it still doesn't have Siri !

    This has been asked and answered here many times already, but again, Apple has made no indications that Siri will ever be available for any existing device other than the iPhone 4S. We'll all just have to wait and see.
