3.27.X: Platform Support

[Xander Cage]

Hi, 

As AIX Support is dropped from 3.27 onwards few question came up...

1) will all support for AIX get purged from masterfiles or will everything already available stay in place?

2) we are  building cfengine community aix binaries from source, ist this still feasible?

Hi Chris,

No, we aren't removing things to intentionally prevent things from working. It's just that we are no longer producing regular builds ourselves on AIX from 3.27 onwards.

1. we are building cfengine community aix binaries from source, ist this still feasible?

Yes, absolutely. However, you may want to keep a closer eye on master and make sure that you are building and testing regularly in case we accidentally break something.
