1.67 deraadt 41: This project was started in those days when the only
1.38 mickey 42: open source operating systems for HP PA-RISC computers were
1.66 jufi 43: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/projects/flux/lites/html">Lites</a> and
1.68 jufi 44: <a href="http://www.mklinux.org">MkLinux</a>.
1.38 mickey 45: These two sources were a major supply of information and
46: code for initial development of the OpenBSD/hppa port.
1.67 deraadt 47: <a href="http://www.cs.utah.edu/~mike/hpbsd/hpbsd.html">HPBSD</a>
1.38 mickey 48: is encumbered by HP proprietary code and USL licensing and is
49: not publicly available.
50: One of the major direct benefits from previous porting efforts
1.74 miod 51: (besides the code, of course) was support for HP PA-RISC in GCC and
52: binutils, which allowed quick building of a cross-tools environment
53: for development.
54:
1.38 mickey 55: <p>
1.74 miod 56: Later on, Hewlett-Packard decided to sponsor a
57: <a href="http://www.parisc-linux.org/">Linux</a> port to the PA-RISC
58: family, which actually resulted in some proprietary documentation
59: being released, even though their target was a different class of 9000
60: machines back then.
