We are racking some new build nodes into the cluster early next week and hopefully this situation will begin to resolve then. For now, you do have to build from ports. X and a variety of apps should work fine, though you will run into programs that are x86-only or have weird bugs on ppc sometimes. -Nathan On 03/03/18 19:19, Rino Rondan wrote: > Hi, > > Is ppc64 a tier 2 arch ?
