1.67 deraadt 55: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 56: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 57: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 58: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 59: These two sources were a major supply of information and
60: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 61: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 62: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
63: not publicly available.
64: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 65: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
66: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
67: for development.
68:
1.38 mickey 69: <p>
1.74 miod 70: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
71: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
72: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
73: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
74: machines back then.

81: In addition to the release, full snapshots are made periodically,

1.169 mickey 83: <p>
84: OpenBSD/hppa contains some limited (for now) support for running
