Re: Sparc64 doesn't care about you, and you shouldn't care about Sparc64

It turns out that i will have some time open up this year and i would love to do some work on SPARC64, i have plenty of machines laying around. Im also not opposed to hosting a machine or two in my office's DC for others who want to help. I guess i need to know what needs attention first? I'd like to do some work on the bootloader and installer (zfs from installer would be nice) and of course sun4v. It seems what needs the most attention is the build toolchain, am i correct? I can't recall what version of GCC SPARC64 is currently running, but 4.9 shouldn't be too hard to implement. I think clang is not really considerable at the moment and GCC 5.0+ will take more work, but 4.9 is still newer than what most GNU/Linux distros are providing excluding the bleeding edge ones. This would be my first real contribution to FreeBSD, so any pointers or docs are graciously accepted. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
