- pantulis 5y agoI did that 20 years ago with Solaris. Was contrived and not the easiest thing, but work it did.
- cyberpunk 5y agoI once inherited one such system, it was running on 2.5.1.. My job was to move it to a zone on s10.. It actually pretty much worked, I had to port it forwards to S8, but then word got around that someone had done 'something' to this ancient pile of tech debt and feature requests started coming in so I rewrote it all in perl in an afternoon.. I didn't even try to understand the code, I just used tcpdump to look at the requests/responses and treated it as a black box. I don't miss this kind of work ;)
- pantulis 5y agoThere has been a lot of advances all these years, thank $DEITY.
