Hi!
...no, I don't have a happily booting VAX yet, let alone userland. But
at least, I started the other night to cut out all the former patches
(well, that resulted in one gigantic diff with about 1MB in size!) and
chip it into pieces:
jbglaw@jbglaw-dev:~/devel/sources/rediff$ ls -la
total 984

`bigdiff.diff' is The One And Only, as you may guess. It contains
docs, generic VAX support, all the header files, support for the
single CPUs. I'm not sure when I'll continue to cut it down, but
probably in two night's time. (I'm on the FOSSGIS
(http://www.fossgis.de/konferenz/wiki/Main_Page) conference for the
next days, but hopefully I'll be able to do some hacking at my hotel.)
But all in all, I'm keen to see a booting VAX soon. (Maybe without
SCSI and network for the first days, but that'll all show up.) At
least there's a compiler that seems well-working, thanks to Matt and
Maciej.
MfG, JBG
