59:
60: <p>
61: The OpenBSD/alpha port was started in the summer of 1996 by using code
62: from the NetBSD/alpha port which was started by
63: <a href="mailto:cgd@netbsd.org">Chris Demetriou</a> in 1994.
64: After the original OpenBSD port, some
1.45 niklas 65: copyright issues prevented OpenBSD from tracking the NetBSD code.
66: Regardless, work on the alpha port continued and many fixes were made.
1.95 miod 67: Meanwhile, NetBSD continued to make improvements to the
1.83 horacio 68: alpha port which we were unfortunately unable to use. Over time,
1.45 niklas 69: because of a lack of programmer resources and the inability to use
70: NetBSD code, hardware and software support became very outdated. This
71: caused the 2.5 and 2.6 releases of alpha to have few kernel
1.95 miod 72: enhancements. As a result of its becoming so stale, there was no
73: OpenBSD/alpha port included in the 2.7 and 2.8 releases.
74: </p>
1.45 niklas 75:
1.95 miod 76: <p>
77: Shortly after OpenBSD 2.8 was released, there has been a great deal of
78: interest in bringing the port up to date. This, coupled with the fact
79: that NetBSD changed the license on its alpha code so that there were no
1.50 nate 80: longer copyright issues has lead to an effort to bring the alpha port
81: back up. (For details on why we were not able to keep tracking the
1.95 miod 82: NetBSD code, check our <a href="policy.html">policy</a> page.)
83: </p>
1.50 nate 84:
1.95 miod 85: <p>
86: Nathan Binkert, Art Grabowski, Niklas Hallqvist and Eric Jackson, with
1.83 horacio 87: the help of a few others, eventually brought the port in good shape
1.95 miod 88: again, and starting with the 2.9 release OpenBSD/alpha is a supported
89: OpenBSD port again.
