Replying to [comment:6 fbissey]:
> Given the kind of relationship we have with IBM here I should make some
enquiries. Can you name the tool in question?
Yes, I just checked my emails. It was Numpy and Scipy that someone at IBM
wanted on AIX - I assume for his personal work. I've no idea of the work
in doing this, but I'd be willing to at least consider it on a contract
basis.
I don't think there would be much appetite for an AIX port of Sage by
sage-developers. In any case, for a port to take place, some decent
hardware would be needed. My machine is too old, so even permitting others
to use it (and I've done that several times), it would not be suitable for
Sage development. Neither is a machine which has access restricted to a
couple of people.
The offers made by IBM before, while I'm sure were made with good
intentions, were not acceptable to either William or I.
Another issue, is that even if IBM gave William a server, he has no AIX
administrator. I don't know AIX that well - though perhaps just about to
set up a server. I've set my own up OK.
IBM were supposed to be giving me an account on this 4 GHz AIX box, but I
never got it, so I'm stuck using my own RS/6000, which is too old.
