Let me first give a translation of the question: > Quelqu'un parle-t-il Fran=E7ais??? --> Is there somebody speaking French ? -> Yes, myself. > Si oui, je vous remecie par avance de m'expliquer le but de l'=E9quipe=20 > de linuxia64 et le r=F4le que peuvent jouer chacun de ses membres et des = > differents partenaires. >=20 --> If yes, I thank you in advance for explaining what is the goal of the=20 --> linuxia64 team and the role that each member and partners are playing. English Reply: -------------- The goal of the Linux/ia64 team, aka Trillian project is to deliver a port of Linux to the IA-64 architecture by the time the machines becomes availab= le. Members of the project include: - HP, IBM, SGI, Intel , Va Linux, CERN and all major Linux distributors (Suse, Redhat, Caldera, TurboLinux). Each member is contributing a piece of code based on expertise or interest. All the source code will eventually be release under the GNU GPL Licence. As of today the following code has been released: - the kernel patch against v2.3.42 - the patch for GNU C Library v2.1.x (includes a simple math library) - an EFI bootloader (ELI) - an optimized math library - a bootable CD - an set of development tols to develop EFI application using GNU tools. =09 Now the French version: ----------------------- Le but de ce projet est de delivrer un portage du systeme d'exploitation Li= nux sur l'architecture IA-64 au moment ou les premieres machines sont disponibl= es. Les membres de ce projet sont: - HP, IBM, SGI , Intel , VA Linux, CERN et tous les principaux frabriquants de distribution Linux tels que Suse, Redhat, Caldera, TurboLinux. Chaque membre contribue du code base sur son domaine d'expertise ou son cen= tre d'interet. La totalite du code produit sera rendu public sous la licence GNU GPL. Des aujourd'hui le code des elements suivants est disponible: - un patch relatif au noyau v2.3.42 (integre a la version officielle dans v2.3.43) - un patch relatif a la version v2.1.x de la librarie GNU C (librairie mathematique simple incluse) - un chargeur compatible EFI (ELI) - une librairie mathematique optimisee - a CD-ROM auto boot - un ensemble de librairies et utilitaires pour developer des applications EFI avec les outils GNU. Si possible utiliser l'anglais dans toute nouvelle correspondance afin que tout le monde puisse repondre. (In the future, please use English so that everybody could answer). +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ste'phane ERANIAN | Email eranian@hpl.hp.com | | Hewlett-Packard Laboratories | | | 1501, Page Mill Road MS 1U-15 | | | Palo Alto, CA 94303-096 | | | USA | | | Tel : (650) 857-7174 | | | Fax : (650) 857-5548 | | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
