[OpenAFS] HP-UX support
As I've mentioned to developers previously, the HP-UX build slave
machine will be going away soon. As this is the last machine I am aware
of where anyone builds OpenAFS on HP-UX, this means that OpenAFS' HP-UX
support will likely bitrot (and has somewhat already).
If anyone reading this wants OpenAFS to work on HP-UX, you need to speak
up. Currently the OpenAFS 1.6.x series does build on PA-RISC HP-UX
('namei' and 'inode'), but the 'master' branch does not; so the next
series after 1.6.x will likely not build on HP-UX.
If nobody says anything in response so this, I assume the code will stay
in the tree, unused, for a while, and after some amount of time (maybe
the 2.0-ish timeframe?) the relevant code may be removed from the tree.
And then we'll probably never have to worry about HP-UX again :)

Can IRIX support go away as well? ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info

It really is up to the end user community. However, I have no objections to either IRIX or HP-UX specific support being removed from 'master'. The question is whether there are sites that are still using these platforms that care to support them. By support I explicitly mean providing hardware for buildbot and developer hours to fix build issues and assist the rest of the community in maintaining those platforms in the tree.
