OpenBSD/alpha
!
History and Status:
!The OpenBSD/alpha port was begun in the summer of 1996 by using ! code from the NetBSD/alpha port which was begun by Chris Demetriou ! <cgd@netbsd.org> in 1994. After the original OpenBSD port, some ! copyright issues prevented OpenBSD from tracking the NetBSD code. ! Regardless, work on the alpha port continued and many fixes were made. ! While we were making fixes, NetBSD continued to make improvements to ! the alpha port which we were unfortunately unable to use. Over time, ! because of a lack of programmer resources and the inability to use ! NetBSD code, hardware and software support became very outdated. This ! caused the 2.5 and 2.6 releases of alpha to have few kernel ! enhancements. As a result of its becoming so stale, alpha was not ! included in the 2.7 release.
! !Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in bringing the ! port up to date. This coupled with the fact that NetBSD changed the ! license on its alpha code so that there are no longer copyright issues ! has lead to an effort to bring the alpha port back up. (For details on ! why we were not able to keep tracking the NetBSD code, check our policy page.)
! !There is currently no maintainer for the alpha port. Technical ! discussion about the alpha port should be directed to <alpha@openbsd.org>. If you ! are at all interested in development of the alpha port, please send ! inquiries to this address. If you are interested in the job of alpha ! port maintainer, help out the project for a while and step up to the ! job.

Supported Hardware:
+ +Because of the changes that are currently being made to alpha, the + currently supported hardware is in flux. To the best of our + knowledge, the following hardware is still supported, but this could + change at any time.
