Closes out the field report that prompted 2026.05.08.2. Full integration suite, same commit, all green: Informix 15.0.1.0.3DE 241 / 241 Informix 14.10.FC7W1DE 241 / 241 Informix 12.10.FC12W1DE 241 / 241 Including smart-LOB. The 28-type round-trip produces byte-identical wire output on all three — same type codes, same encoded lengths, same values. There is no 12-vs-14-vs-15 wire difference for anything we support. Testing three versions by hand was tedious and undocumented, which is part of why it never happened. Now: make ifx-legacy-up 12.10 on 9089, 14.10 on 9090, alongside 15 on 9088 make ifx-legacy-setup blobspace1 + sbspace1 in both make test-matrix the suite against all three tests/setup-spaces.sh absorbs the per-image differences that made this annoying: 12.10/14.10 use a flat INFORMIXDIR while 15 nests a versioned subdirectory; ONCONFIG is named differently across images; `bash -lc` wipes INFORMIXDIR and makes every utility fail with a misleading "Unable to read $INFORMIXDIR (/usr/informix)"; and 12.10 DE ships no ontape at all (the level-0 archive turns out to be unnecessary anyway). Without blobspace1/sbspace1, ~21 tests fail with errors that look like driver bugs and aren't. The documented workflow was validated from scratch — containers removed, recreated via compose, spaces created via the script, matrix run — rather than written up afterward from whichever commands happened to work. The README claim this replaces was wrong precisely because nobody did that.

# Older Informix versions, for the server-compatibility matrix in the README.

|
# The primary dev container (tests/docker-compose.yml) runs Informix 15 on
|
|
# 9088. These two run alongside it on 9089 / 9090 so all three can be tested
|
|
# without tearing anything down.
|
|
#
|
|
# These images live on Docker Hub under ibmcom/ rather than icr.io/informix/ —
|
|
# IBM stopped publishing the older developer editions to the newer registry.
|
|
# They're tagged rather than digest-pinned because the ibmcom repo is frozen
|
|
# (no new pushes since the icr.io move), so the tags are already immutable in
|
|
# practice.
|
|
#
|
|
# make ifx-legacy-up start both
|
|
# make ifx-legacy-setup create blobspace1 + sbspace1 (needed for LOB tests)
|
|
# make test-matrix run the integration suite against all three
|
|
# make ifx-legacy-down stop and remove
