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32: NetBSD code, hardware and software support became very outdated.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