Thread: AIX buildfarm member

The only animal in the buildfarm running AIX is grebe 
(http://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=grebe&br=HEAD)

It is likely that the server running this animal will go away sometime 
this year and the machine replacing it isn't running AIX.

If someone else in the community is running PostgreSQL on AIX then it 
would be good if they setup a buildfarm member, perhaps with a more 
recent version of AIX.

I am and I'd love to, however, sigh, its deep behind corporate firewalls 
and any attempt at doing something like that would land me in all kinda 
hurt.     I run AIX 6.1 and 7 LPAR's (IBM's equivalent of a VM) on our 
AIX dev box, which is a 2 core Power 6.   Another complexity is that the 
licensing for XL C is per 'seat' (named user).

I'm really surprised IBM doesn't have some program to support a worthy 
project like this.

They probably do.  The problem is that we don't know who to contact.
