I just had a look through the doc/pkgsrc.txt file on ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages (afaik the official source for precompiled binaries) and it seems like only 200?-Q? binaries are available for most archs. Perhaps a "compromise", such as building only these packages plus security updates will be more suited to the situation. \n\n -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Nikos Ntarmos <[email protected]> iD8DBQFDg5JDm6J1ac+VFgoRAsV8AKCRZdetdbCrFwnfr977uEkiPs2V2ACfQIXf 8pmWlaKCMwAJtD53Uwbp2+I= =3PX9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
