Hi, I've now completed a build cycle for pkgsrc-2017Q2 for powerpc on NetBSD/macppc 6.1, 7.1 and 8.0_BETA (where I've cheated and marked it as 8.0 even though it's built with the beta). The total size and number of packages built is as follows: 6.1 16GB 14295 packages 7.1 23GB 16691 packages (17401 in dir, maybe some multiple versions) 8.0 24GB 16759 packages Build reports for all of these have been sent to pkgsrc-bulk. Some notable absences: * node.js doesn't want to build, and IBM who maintains the ppc code in Google's v8 (which is part of node.js) only cares for ppc64. There's probably not much we can do here; maintaining a "separate" port will be expensive in terms of resources. * None of the openjdk versions have a working bootstrap, so packages wanting "proper Java" are not built either. Perhaps most notable here is LibreOffice. I may look closer at this, but no promises. * In the mozilla family, it looks like none of the various firefox versions want to build (there's a package file for the ancient firefox36 on 8.0, but it doesn't actually contain an executable for firefox). Basically the same problem applies to thunderbird and seamonkey. Regards, - HÃ¥vard
