Thanks, hello, HPUX is not too common these days but it works like a charm. we have a couple of large IA64 servers running on HPUX at a major customer. things work without any problems. it compiled out of the box just like expected and we have not seen any failures or so for almost 2 years now. so, thumbs up ... nothing to be afraid of. many thanks, hans -- Cybertec Schönig Schönig GmbH Gröhrmühlgasse 26 A-2700 Wiener Neustadt, Austria Web: http://www.postgresql-support.de -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

A bunch of HP-UX related fixes were committed around April-May, to fix issues I bumped into when setting up the HP-UX ia64 buildfarm member (anole). I don't think all of them were back-patched. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

Well, HP hasn't exactly been forthcoming with support on their own end, but we do have an HPUX 11.31 IA64 machine in the buildfarm, and I still routinely test on a personal 10.20 HPPA box, so it's not like the platform doesn't get coverage at all. If you'd like to see some other cases covered, feel free to contribute a buildfarm member. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
