HP-UX is still being actively developed.
- Tsiklon 4y agoIt’s only on Itanium hardware now which is super dead, which limits the ability for anyone to experience it
- robin_reala 4y agoTheir roadmap document is the most enthusiastic thing I’ve read about Itanium in the last decade: https://www.hpe.com/us/en/collaterals/collateral.4aa3-9071.HPE-Integrity-servers-and-HP-UX-public-roadmap-customer-presentation.html?rpv=cpf&parentPage=/us/en/products/servers/hp-ux https://www.hpe.com/us/en/collaterals/collateral.4aa3-9071.H...
- chasil 4y agoThere was actually an x86 port of HP-UX. It was not released. https://www.theregister.com/2012/05/23/hp_project_blackbird_redwood_hp_ux/ https://www.theregister.com/2012/05/23/hp_project_blackbird_...
- hulitu 4y agoSuch a pity. HP-UX was pretty nice.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoUm. So I think you're the first person I've ever encountered who had anything good to say for it. I never had the pleasure, so I'm working from second-hand accounts; what was good about it?
- chasil 4y agoOne nice thing was Ignite. I really missed that, until I found ReaR. I actually passed the HP-UX certification exam.
- yjftsjthsd-h 4y agoHuh, you're right; Wikipedia puts the EOL of the current version at 2025-12-31. I wonder if they changed that or I misremembered; I was quite sure that I'd read of it being EOLed years ago. (Or perhaps I did read an EOL notice but they were announcing it on Enterprise timelines, i.e. "heads up that it'll finally die in a mere 8 more years"...)
- forlorn 4y agoCoincidentally CDE dropped its support in this very release.
