20:
21: <p>The OpenBSD/alpha port was begun in the summer of 1996 by using
22: code from the NetBSD/alpha port which was begun by Chris Demetriou
23: <cgd@netbsd.org> in 1994. After the original OpenBSD port, some
24: copyright issues prevented OpenBSD from tracking the NetBSD code.
25: Regardless, work on the alpha port continued and many fixes were made.
26: While we were making fixes, NetBSD continued to make improvements to
27: the alpha port which we were unfortunately unable to use. Over time,
28: because of a lack of programmer resources and the inability to use
29: NetBSD code, hardware and software support became very outdated. This
30: caused the 2.5 and 2.6 releases of alpha to have few kernel
31: enhancements. As a result of its becoming so stale, alpha was not
1.50 nate 32: included in the 2.7 and 2.8 releases.</p>
1.45 niklas 33:
1.50 nate 34: <p>Shortly after 2.8 was released, there has been a great deal of
35: interest in bringing the port up to date. This coupled with the fact
36: that NetBSD changed the license on its alpha code so that there are no
37: longer copyright issues has lead to an effort to bring the alpha port
38: back up. (For details on why we were not able to keep tracking the
39: NetBSD code, check our <a href=policy.html>policy</a> page.)</p>
40:
41: <p>Nate Binkert, Art Grabowski, Niklas Hallqvist and Eric Jackson,
1.51 jufi 42: with the help of a few others, eventually brought the port in good
1.60 jufi 43: shape again, and starting with the 2.9 release alpha is a
1.50 nate 44: major OpenBSD port again.</p>
1.45 niklas 45:
1.50 nate 46: <p>However, there is currently no maintainer for the alpha port.
47: Technical discussion about the alpha port should be directed to <a
1.45 niklas 48: href="mailto:alpha@openbsd.org"><alpha@openbsd.org></a>. If you
49: are at all interested in development of the alpha port, please send
50: inquiries to this address. If you are interested in the job of alpha
51: port maintainer, help out the project for a while and step up to the
52: job.</p>
