[parisc-linux] Mach sources?

[Matthew Wilcox]

It's quite a pain to actually find the sources from the reference on
the puffin group website.  There's a morass of broken links and the
OSF no longer seem to distribute the source.  So for everyone's
convenience, the URL for the latest set of Mach/PARISC sources is:

ftp://flux.cs.utah.edu/flux/mach/ALPHA/

Jeff, does 9th Jan 1996 sound like the most recent version to you?

Hi Jeff !!
Thanks for the URL !

I don't know theese sources, but the URL
 ftp://ftp.duth.gr/pub1/mklinux_PA-RISC/
has a MkLinux-Port (OSF) for PA-RISC.
Maybe theese are the same sources, but since the names & dates are different the
sources on duth.gr seems to be newer !
But I think a look at both should be fine !

Helge.

I'll give you the authoritative answer...
 
For the Utah code (Mach3 + 4.4BSD server), that was the last release,
in particular:

	ftp://flux.cs.utah.edu/flux/mach/ALPHA/pa-snapshot2.tar.gz

For the OSF code (OSF Mach + Linux server), I believe someone else posted
a URL for a copy of that.

The OSF code supported a few more machines (e.g., J series) and devices
(e.g., EISA stuff) than we did, though we might have had a few bug fixes
they didn't.  Of most interest in the Utah code is the HP-UX compatibility
code (mostly in the Lites server/emulator) which was good enough to run the
X11 server and Netscape.
