-
- Two part answer which applies to HP-UX 8.* and 9.0, and Domain/OS 10.3.5
- and 10.4:
-
- First, HP ships the "supported" X world in two chunks. The "runtime"
- chunk consisting of Xserver, Motif Window Manager, HP-VUE, Shared Libraries,
- and corresponding man pages ships bundled with the OS. The "developers"
- chuck consisting of header files, archived libraries, UIL, and corresponding
- man pages ships in a layered product known as the UEDK - User Environment
- Developers Kit. Together, they represent what HP does support, but as
- many have pointed out, it doesn't support everything available from MIT,
- hence....
-
- Second, HP has cooked up the entire MIT offering (R5) for HP-UX and
- Domain/OS, and made the results available via InterWorks. We are hoping
- in the long run to establish the InterWorks Contrib tape as our official
- way of getting "unsupported contrib" software out the door. The support
- issues fall to the side by doing this, we as an organization don't have
- to hassle with system release schedules and rules, and it takes I'd guess
- ~3% the effort a real supported release would need. Since announcing the
- InterWorks X contrib, traffic has gone from ~80 to ~1000 ftp-grabs per
- month off the Iworks node. I don't know what the tape and CD ROM traffic
- is up to now - the tapes and CD-ROMS address those who don't have network
- access.
-
- Like Dave Shaw said, feel free to give feedback via InterWorks. Two
- years ago, I doubted any X contrib would happen - it since has. Marketing
- is now mulling over the results from this years Iworks conference -
- imake was mentioned as a "we should finally support" by some in our own
- organization. Could it be in 93' - hopefully.
