+ <p>The Ports Collection typically receives less attention on
+ Tier-2 architectures than on Tier-1 architectures, although
+ several build-runs were performed at various points in the past,
+ and broken ports were marked as such at those times.</p>
+
+ <p>Some of the Tier-2 platforms, such as PowerPC and ARM,
+ have improved considerably recently, both on &os;'s and the
+ compilers' sides, but as the tree is not rebuilt on the cluster
+ very often, it was suspected that many ports are marked BROKEN
+ while they in fact now build and run correctly.</p>
+
+ <p>Over the past several weeks, 26 ports that were indeed
+ broken on at least PowerPC had been fixed, 58 ports that were
+ incorrectly marked as broken (left-overs from the old times) were
+ unmarked, and fewer than 40 ports still have issues requiring
+ further work.

+ <p>The Ports Collection could benefit a lot from more frequent sweeps
+ targetting Tier-2 systems.</p>

+
+ <task>
+ <p>Recent work on QEMU-backed emulators and the
+ much-anticipated cross-building of ports are essential pieces to
+ bring &os; packages on par with the base system's support,
+ architecture-wise.</p>
