1.67 deraadt 53: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 54: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 55: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 56: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 57: These two sources were a major supply of information and
58: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.

1.38 mickey 60: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
61: not publicly available.
62: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 63: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
64: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
65: for development.

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