So Solaris, Linux, Darwin are all one platform now? Is that platform "Unix"? ;-)
I don't see where I would have said that.
No stable cross-platform release. Well, either they're all one platform or they aren't. So you either said it already, or not.
However, compared to the Windows platform, which seems to have been separate for quite some time now, the answer still might (and probably better should) be something like "yes, kind of". That "Unix" platform should also embrace AIX.
No argument. Likewise Irix and HP-UX, I think Tru64 is dying.
will one day get to the point where a client on platform X won't work with a server on platform Y anymore, which would render OpenAFS pretty much pointless.
There are no such issues. The client is binary, it works or it doesn't. At least, so far.
I can offer my help reporting problems discovered while compiling and using OpenAFS on AIX 4.3.3, AIX 5.1, AIX 5.2, and one day AIX 5.3, both 32- and 64-bit. Unfortunately, I am neither a kernel nor a programming expert, so I won't be able to fix too many of those problems myself, let alone in a clean way that doesn't further mess up the code.
Sure, but without an AIX system I can only stab in the dark at your bugs.
That said, it looks like there are patches to make you happy in CVS now.
