Perhaps a question should be sent to tech-talk asking how many sites

I thought we had agreed on dropping HP support when switch to the next

major release. But if there's reason enough to change that position - ok

with me, of course, as it saves a lot of unpleasant work.

I really don't think we can drop HPUX support at R3.14.7, since there

are known bugs in it and we'd be leaving any HPUX sites that are using

R3.14 high and dry. The only point of doing a tech-talk survey would be

to determine if there are any such sites, which may be worth doing but I

suspect the answer will be yes.

It sounds like mid-October may be a better release date for R3.14.8, to

ensure that we have time to get it working on HPUX.

Does anyone have any significant code that should be committed? I have

been wondering whether to install my device support extension code into

R3.14.8, but I haven't done so yet (it is checked into the main trunk

now though).
