This gives us a number of advantages: * leveraging knowledge of previous porting efforts (FreeBSD/axp) * possibility of using NetBSD's cross-compiler port (in fact, there is not an openbsd-sparc target for gcc/binutils/gdb in the distributions) * leveraging platform dependent code from netbsd/sparc * for the most part, those that have expressed opinion on which to use seem to want netbsd I think that pretty well closes the case. Let's call this a decision and move forward from it - any objections or concerns? <:) Lyndon Griffin http://www.bsd4us.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
