1.67 deraadt 59: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 60: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 61: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 62: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 63: These two sources were a major supply of information and
64: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 65: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 66: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
67: not publicly available.
68: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 69: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
70: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
71: for development.
72: </p>
73:
1.38 mickey 74: <p>
1.74 miod 75: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
76: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
77: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
78: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
79: machines back then.
