Hi Matt and Core guys,
 Is it necessary to have the EPICS core build on HP? I suppose the issue is the Channel Access client - and that must build there as there are no cross-compilers?
How many sites are still using HPUX and when will we stop supporting it? It seems a major drag on resources and schedule. Is it?

No, we don't need the core to build on HP.  We just need
the client-side of channel access...we don't even need
the PCAS.

As I said in my email, we will not be staying with HP.  Our
transition away from it will take several years, however, and
we'd like to see 3.14.x continue to be HP-compatible.  Is this
a major drag for the EPICS core group?
