Toolchain
Snapshots of the gcc-2.95.2/binutils 2.10 toolchain
released, and available on the FTP site. Source and
Binary versions for Linux/i386 are provided, with
documentation to follow (honest). (atp)

Toolchain
Andy continues to work on the toolchain. Migration to gcc-2.95.2 seems
to be complete (at least it makes bootable kernels for me - Kenn).
He continues to work through the bugs. Hopefully we'll do a binary
snapshot of the toolchain soon, for those of you who don't want to
compile up your own tools.
Kernel
Dave Airlie's LANCE ethernet driver for the VS3100-series machines
is starting to take shape. Well, it generates lots of output on
the console and then prints the ethernet address!
Docs
Dave's also started on a proper
FAQ generated from these
SGML sources.

Toolchain
A newer binutils (version 2.10) has been checked into CVS. It seems to work
fine so far. Details in Andy's
mail message.
Kernel
The interrupt and exception handling framework is complete. I hope...
Interrupt and exception handlers are all registered at run-time now.
It looks like autoprobing interrupt vectors will be possible too.

Website
The website is now updated via CVS. The pages are pulled
from CVS hourly.
Out of date documentation has been
removed and replaced with a link to current docs.
Kernel
We're getting further slowly. Here
is Kenn's VAXstation 3100 booting the latest kernel. The framework for handling
interrupts is taking shape...

Web site has moved to SourceForge Expect some broken links and
general randomness as we iron out bugs.

| 18 FEB 2000 |
This project is moving to sourceforge, in order to speed up
access to the software and to allow people aside from me to manage the web site.
New release this weekend. |

New snapshots at the http link. Old packages are still available under
the "old" directory. A mopd, this time including the loop.c fix, has been
put up as well. Whilst I'm away patches and new releases can be found on
Kenn's site at www.bluetree.ie |

-
All the vaxes have arrived. The only problem now is that as a result of
moving jobs and house, they are all in storage.
-
The mailing list has moved. The new details are below.
-
If you were on the old linux-vax list, you will have to re-subscribe, as
the list of members was not saved.
-
I am about to depart to a desert island (with no internet access) for several
months. I'll try to update documentation and the web site before I go.
-
Simplified web pages a bit. Amazing how being on a DECstation running NetBSD
with a 33.6 dialup instead of a T1 can lead to a lack of patience with
useless graphics.

New snapshots for things at the download link.
Linux C code now compiles. Pretty much all of arch-dependent stuff
to do
(or redo) still. I'm acquiring the rest of the VAX hardware I need
tomorrow.
Still dont know where to store it ... |
