Dear RISC-V user types :

     I have a package server that does daily builds for amd64 with jails
setup for 13.3 and 14.1 and of course CURRENT. This works really well
and generally gets the job done for all of KDE5 and LXDE and XFCE plus
some database tools and other tidbits. Roughly 3 or 4 hours for 1800
packages and that serves me well.

     Regarding the docs for riscv64 package builds at :

         https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv/ports

     I see that it says we need qemu-user-static built and installed and
then I *may* be able to setup a riscv64 jail?  My plan is to try and get
a 14.1 jail as well as a CURRENT jail from the sources I have built the
host with. However qemu is just horribly slow. So terrible that I may
have to wait a week to get that jail built. So therefore :

         (1) are those docs still reasonable ?

         (2) is it just a waste of time ?

     I have the little SiFive UnMatched board which is supposed to all
"just work" per https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv#Supported_Platforms and
I have a Samsung 990 SSD M.2 thing on it. Will it be able to run proper
poudriere package builds without too much horror ?
