No, since they are too familar with an existing architecture.

I was thinking about two platforms - first Solaris/SystemZ and the 2nd one is... erm... confidential (for now (sorry... ;-( )). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) From roland.mainz at nrubsig.org Fri May 8 05:02:14 2009 From: roland.mainz at nrubsig.org (Roland Mainz) Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 14:02:14 +0200 Subject: [emerging-platforms-discuss] Requesting ARC cases 1993/685, 1994/188, 1994/196, 1994/197, 1994/302, 1995/077, 1995/082, 1995/153 References: <4A02448E.1AC9B6BA@nrubsig.org> <18946.60949.44576.167307@gargle.gargle.HOWL> Message-ID: <4A041F46.C48F8F66@nrubsig.org> James Carlson wrote: > > Moved from opensolaris-arc to arc-discuss; see: > > http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/arc-faq/arc-publish-historical-checklist/ > > Also removed psarc-ext, as that's not correct. > > Roland Mainz writes: > > PSARC 1993/685 PowerPC_ABI > > I'm looking through this one now, and I see a *lot* of confidential > materials, including discussions and agreements with third parties, > encumbered ABI documentation, and things of unknown origin.

That's the current draft plan anyway (and it may be lots of discussion since we start with an ABI which may be "Uncommited" for the first six months). > I think you're looking at a time-waster. Erm... I disagree.... even in a cut-down form the cases may give at least a "frame" of what is needed, which project state is required by the implemenmtors and may allow to give an esimation how long it may take to create such an ARC case... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) From roland.mainz at nrubsig.org Fri May 29 15:39:51 2009 From: roland.mainz at nrubsig.org (Roland Mainz) Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 00:39:51 +0200 Subject: [emerging-platforms-discuss] [arc-discuss] Requesting ARC cases 1993/685, 1994/188, 1994/196, 1994/197, 1994/302, 1995/077, 1995/082, 1995/153 References: <4A02448E.1AC9B6BA@nrubsig.org> <18946.60949.44576.167307@gargle.gargle.HOWL> <18973.22688.437993.489389@gargle.gargle.HOWL> Message-ID: <4A206437.B4EAEC97@nrubsig.org> James Carlson wrote: > > > PSARC 1994/196 PowerPC Header Files > > > PSARC 1995/153 PPC installboot > > I've cleaned up and published those two.
