From what I've been told, the Foundation isn't really interested in putting resources towards sparc64 support. fwiw, I have a stack of machines that I would donate if there were some place to host them. (I was able to acquire them inexpensively from my last employer; more such machines show up now and then). From time to time I build packages on one of them. If there is interest I will poke at making some for 11.0. Given the electricity cost (figure $25/server/mo) I'm not too interested in leaving them on 24x7. Especially in the Texas summers. mcl _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-sparc64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
