Please update the site

Hi,

I recently joined the list aftering buying a Linux kit and plans to
install NetBSD on the PS2. I was disappointed at the fact that the
last news update was 12/9/2004. Is it the maintainer's job to update
the news entries or can anyone update it? I myself, would like to
develop NetBSD on the PS2 and want to see more response from this
port. That new entry is almost 3 years old. Surely, there must bugs
and stuff to track in NetBSD/PS2 3.1.

I'm sure the PS3 is a lot more important these days, but old is gold.
Keep it development going on these oldies. That's my 2 cents.

Thanks,
Vivek

Unfortunately, due to missing toolchain support in newer gcc and binutils
versions, NetBSD/playstation2 is a dying port.

I anyone would find time to port the EE patches at least to a more
modern binutils, this would be very much appreciated.

Any updates on the binutils and/or toolchain support? I haven't had
time to do any of this, but perhaps someone could put up a news update
about the what's missing on the port's main webpage.

Thanks,
Vivek

That is a good idea, I'll put a note there. Does anyone have any news
on the Linux efforts to get modern gcc/binutils working?

Teach me. I don't want this to die out to a playstation 3.

Thanks,
