So, for example, in March 2012 Oracle stopped fixing bugs in Solaris 8, which means Solaris 8 is now too old. Solaris 9 is scheduled to become too old in October 2014, and so forth. According to this guideline, recent releases of AIX and HP-UX are not too old: their bugs are fixed and people are using them. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
