Porting to different architectures

Hello, all!

I was glad to see that the ELKS project had a new
maintainer...but when I saw that the distribution site was
down, I thought I'd better check to see whether anyone was
really still alive here.  Assuming there is someone out
there reading my mail, I have two ideas to discuss...

A friend of mine and I are in the process of building a
single board computer based on Western Design Center's
65c265, which is a 16-bit MCU which supports program sizes
up to 64k, and data sizes up to the limit of memory (16M).
Naturally, our first choice for an operating system for this
hardware would be a unix-variant...and since ELKS is already
coded for the 8086, we thought we could do a pretty straight
port of it.  I'd really like to get the latest release, but
unfortunately it looks as if Jody Bruchon's site is down.  

Actually, that brings me to my next idea...I have a server
at home with a 6M/512k DSL connection.  I know, it's not a
super fast connection, but it is available...and I would
like to offer it to be used as a mirror for the ELKS
project.  I will also offer whatever help I can for fixing
the CVS repository, or perhaps considering with others a
move to SVN.  

I hope that there is still life in this code yet...it would
be rather nice to see Linux booting on our hardware. 

Thanks,
Chris Cureau

The sourceforge site has change their names for CVS access.
Now there is a 
CVS access using

cvs -d:pserver:anonymouselks.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elks login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymouselks.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elks co modulename


Are the files retrieved using this site up to date? Or are
they completely 
outdated?

Thanks!

modulename elks is accessable
modulenames elksnet,elkscmd, etc are not

pavilion CVSROOT # cvs -d:pserver:anonymouselks.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elksnet login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymouselks.cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/elksnet

does anybody have thouse two modules? (no problem when old
data)

The cvsroot should not be changed. the following is correct.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymouselks.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elks login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymouselks.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/elks co modulename

where modulename is one of

elks		the true elks project
elks-0.2	seems to be empty
elks-0.3	seems to be empty
elkscmd		shells, editors and other stuff
elksnet		sort of tcp/ip stack
elkspages	seems to be the website
elksutils	seems to be empty
elksweb		again the website
elksweb2	still the website


Bye,
