Oggetto: RFC: obsoleting nextstep?
Hi all,
just like SunOS: NextStep's last version (3.3) was released in
1995, which means 15 years before the expected release date of 3.2 .
How about dropping support for it?
+1
+1.
Does 10 years obsolete sound like a good cutoff maximum age for special
OS handling code?
And there are some other candidate:
- *m88k*, I think the Motorola 88000 systems are no more available ...
The originals yes. But there appears to be a fan club maintaining active
OS ports as late as last year. The *m88k* pattern also matches some
fairly new Motorola-built hardware those people are porting for.
-1.
- alpha-dec-osf4.*, is the very old DEC OSF 4.x, while latest is HP True64 5.x
(alpha-dec-osf5.*)
- alpha-dec-osf3 .....
+0.
And to be investigated:
- powerpc-ibm-aix4.1.*
Going by the wikipedia timeline anything 4.x or lower was released
10yrs+ ago. Not sure about there obsolescence dates though. Likely to be
as only 5 years or less.
We have active AIX users so this one needs to be careful.
+1. On grounds of being very old with a newer supported equivalent.
- *-pc-sco3.2*
+1 kill.
- *-sony-newsos[56]*
+1. Last mentioned by that name in a press release 14 years ago. Much
more talk and use of Squid on the various Linux flavors built for the PS3.
I believe they come under GNU/Linux tags.
The alternate tags news([78]|1[58])00 and news86k appear to be supported
through NetBSD.
Another candidate:
*-univel-sysv4.2MP - Original SysV by the looks of it.
