From: "ngoto (Naohisa Goto)" Date: 2022-01-17T13:01:31+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:107162] [Ruby master Feature#18491] Drop support for IBM AIX and HP UX Issue #18491 has been updated by ngoto (Naohisa Goto). About HP-UX: Ruby already dropped support for IA-64 (Itanium) CPU architecture ( Feature #15894 ) on which HP-UX runs. About older architecture, PA-RISC, end of support date of PA-RISC servers were 2013. (References: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PA-RISC ) So, it seems it is OK to drop support for HP-UX. About AIX: It seems that the last bug report about AIX was in Apr 2021 (Bug #17787 ), only 9 month ago. It is suggested that there may be active users. I hope we can continue support it, if that is not too difficult. ---------------------------------------- Feature #18491: Drop support for IBM AIX and HP UX https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18491#change-96022 * Author: peterzhu2118 (Peter Zhu) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- There's code in Ruby for IBM AIX and HP UX (macros `_AIX` and `__hpux`), but we don't test on these systems nor do we have testing machines. IBM AIX's maintainer is listed as @kanemoto and HP UX does not have a maintainer. Are these systems still actively maintained? Are there users of Ruby on these systems? Can we drop support for them? -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
