<h1>OpenBSD project goals</h1> |
<h3>Ongoing Projects</h3> |
|
|
Each person working on OpenBSD has their own aims and priorities, |
There are many people working on specific projects for OpenBSD, some of which |
but the goals of project as a whole are to: |
we cannot mention here yet. Here are some that we can... |
|
|
<ul> |
<ul> |
<li> Provide the best development platform possible - with |
<li> <b>Cross compilation</b><br> |
full source access for openbsd developers and users |
Building a complete system on a different architecture. |
<li> Work towards a machine independent source tree. |
<li> <b>PCMCIA support</b><br> |
<li> Support as many different systems and hardware as feasible. |
Initially for the i386 port (in the tree already). |
<li> Be as politics free as possible - solutions should be |
<li> <b>More ports</b><br> |
decided on the basis of technical merit. |
Many more ports... :) |
<li> Provide a good cross compile/development platform. |
|
<li> Integrate good code from any source with acceptable |
|
copyright (Berkeley style preferred, GPL acceptable, NDA not). |
|
<li> Import external packages with minimal modifications - |
|
making upgrading much easier. Also to submit back to the |
|
developers any changes made. |
|
</ul> |
</ul> |
