IDL 8.8 and older being retired at SSL #375
Description
IDL versions prior to and including IDL 8.8 are considered at "end of life" and no longer supported by NV5. Accordingly, by campus policy, SSL will no longer be supporting those versions, effective May 1.
That could mean that the labwide installations will be removed.
We recently migrated many of our SOC processes (cron jobs, ksh scripts) from IDL 8.5.1 to IDL 9. We need to check for any stragglers that haven't been updated yet. The tmtools distribution, used to process telemetry, ephemeris files, eclipses, etc. is still on IDL 8.5.1 and will need to be updated.
Edit: It looks like only a few ksh scripts were updated, so there are plenty of references to old IDL versions that need to be fixed.
