Dear all,
since we are on the virge of splitting off RiscPC/A7000/NC code from the
now defunct arm32 I am proposing the following :
- we get a new name for the port :)
- I copy the current arm32 tree, rename it (i.e. make it compile again)
- I import/commit the new port name
- everyone STOPS working on the arm32 tree but starts working on the new
branch
- we delete stuff from DNARD etc
- we merge RiscPC/A7000/NC into *one* kernel using a machine discriptor
structure with #defines or preferable seperate files to allow small
kernels
- ...
Ideas for the port name include `acorn', `acornriscpc', `armriscpc',
`riscpcarm', `riscpc' , ....
The name `arch/archimedes' and `arch/imedes' are allready reserved!! :)
Cheers,
Reinoud
