New portmaster for NetBSD/ofppc
Tim 'garbled' Rightnour has done
quite a bit of hacking
on NetBSD's PowerPC based ports, and today he has announced that
he'll take over the job of the portmaster of the NetBSD port to the
OpenFirmware based PowerPC platforms,
NetBSD/ofppc.
Tim writes:
``I would like to thank the previous portmaster, Wolfgang
Solfrank for his excellent work in what was the original port of NetBSD to
the
PowerPC.
As for the future direction of NetBSD/ofppc, the goal is for this port to
run
on as many OpenFirmware and CHRP based PowerPC machines as possible.
Currently
the port is working on the Pegasos II. Work is in-progress to port it to
other
machines, such as CHRP-based IBM RS/6000's and the EFIKA.''
