1.67 deraadt 54: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 55: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 56: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 57: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 58: These two sources were a major supply of information and
59: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 60: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 61: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
62: not publicly available.
63: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 64: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
65: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
66: for development.

1.38 mickey 68: <p>
1.74 miod 69: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
70: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
71: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
72: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
73: machines back then.
