I haven't tested our code for posix compliance, but I do know niche systems like hpux, solaris, and aix have been issues over the years. Dropping official support for those systems frees up resources, and keeps us from having to wonder if every change we make is going to break something on a system barely anyone uses (since we don't have test systems available). We probably wouldn't purposefully break OSSEC on those systems, but officially supporting them isn't really feasible at this point in time. > Later, > Darin > > > On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 11:03 AM, Jeremy Rossi <[email protected]> wrote: >> Making sure that all code in OSSEC compiles and runs on all Unixes is >> hard, and limiting.
