Sun is easy without a package...

GCC 3.33 compiled Exim upgrade for Sun Sparc Solaris 7/8/9

cd /src
tar xvf newversion
cp oldversion/Local/* newversion/Local/.
cd newversion
less doc/NewStuff to see what changed
Apply corresponding exiscan-acl patch
configure
make
make install
test the new binary perhaps tweak configure
mv symbolic link
done
