[parisc-linux] Historical ties between MKLinux and PA-RISC Linux

[parisc-linux] Historical ties between MKLinux and PA-RISC Linux

[Paul Weissmann]

Hi,
	I'm currently trying to mop up the Linux and 'Other OS'
pages on OpenPA and populate them with more useful content

I'd be very grateful if people here could help me with insight
into the historical ties between PA-RISC Linux and the previous
open-source operating systems (MKLinux/hppa, Utah Mach etc.)

Interesting items:

 - Influences these OSs had on the current PA-RISC Linux port
 - General history of the open-source/development OSs on hppa
 - Technical judgements on the previous efforts
 - History of the PA-RISC Linux port

Please keep me on cc: as I'm not subscribed.

Thanks.

        - paul

I got involved in the parisc-linux port because the MKLinux port said
it worked on every 715 except the 715/33 ... and I only had a pair of
715/33 machines at the time.  I don't remember looking at the MKLinux
port for ideas, though others may have done so.

I did a paper for OLS2000 which is basically an early 'state of the
port': http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/docs/willy/ols2.pdf

There used to be a weekly report, which is still at
http://www.parisc-linux.org/weekly/ though as you can see, it's been a
while since that was updated.

There have been some 'state of the port' emails, typically in january:
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2004-January/022058.html
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2004-February/022309.html
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-January/018884.html
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2003-January/018898.html

I think we kind of forgot for 2005 ;-)

As for the "ESIEE Team" contribution/history, there are some info here:
http://www.pateam.org/history.html
http://www.pateam.org/work.html
and for much older status reports:
http://www.pateam.org/accomplished.html

If you need more specific detail, my personnal knowledge starts by the
end of 2001. Others are much more knowledgeable than me anyway ;-)
