OpenBSD/pmax
History and Status:
It pmax port of OpenBSD is being worked on by Thomas Graichen (graichen@openbsd.org). The status
is that i have it so far running now (a lot of thanks to Dieter Mayer
who made all this possible by sending me a Decstaion 5000/200 -
thanks) and i have also started to create snapshots of OpenBSD/pmax
and X11 for OpenBSD/pmax from time to
time - you may get them from
the usual OpenBSD ftp servers.
Differences to NetBSD/pmax:
- we have native shared libraries
- the port is self-hosting (i.e. it only uses in-tree tools - there is
no need for externel binutils).
- i try too keep the release of snapshots and releases close to
releasing X11 binaries too (X11R5 servers and X11R6 clients - both
compiled with ProjectRoot /usr/X11R6)
- you get all the usual OpenBSD improvements, additions and fixes
Aside from that the hardware support is nearly identical to NetBSD/pmax.
This is also the place there i plan to put all hints for the installation
and fixes for problems while doing it to.
