By and large, we keep platforms alive until there's just no viable way to keep them so. As long as someone cares about the platform enough to test builds and send patches, I don't think we'd drop something unless there was something about that platform that was prohibitively hard to maintain. HP-UX and IRIX are probably the most in jeopardy just because very few people have the hardware and systems to test either any more, but so far we still have people willing to test and fix things. (Well, there's SunOS, but I think we keep support for db servers on SunOS around mostly so that we can tease Derrick, and that will die when we go to pthreaded Ubik, I think.) -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
