Hi,

after Christmas pause... I resumed some building.

some more useful stuff... mercurial and tcl.
xcoral editor.

not  bad. Big failures right now are emacs (but we have xemacs)

Overall an interesting "pack" for me but I guess for other who want to 
start and need the basics.

right now I have 218 packages and 378MB

Right now I am attempting ImageMagick!
And later I will try a BASIC interpreter, might be useful
Then windowmaker.



Has anyone attempted compiling (hateful) rust on a low-end machine? on 
SPARC? I remember that even on my Intel i3 Core laptop with 3 or 4GB it 
was unbearable and took more than a day...
