Sorry to come in on this discussion late. I am behind on email. I'm one of the people who goes through the ports and marks them broken -- at least on the basis of the build cluster runs. As of the last complete run on sparc64-6, I think I did indeed mark those. The latest sparc64-7 run is continuing. With the limited number of sparc64 machines we have, the elapsed time for even _incremental_ builds is on the order of 3-5 weeks, depending on what's changed in the meantime. Once that gets done, I'll probably do another pass. As for ports that compile and install correctly, but just don't work, we rely on our user base to file PRs. But there is a bit of chicken- and-egg problem: not many maintainers have access to these machines. Much more so than on i386, we are reliant on user fixes. I personally think it's still worth putting work into sparc ports, if for nothing else the potential for a solid, working, FreeBSD/sun4v down the road. But with the resources we have right now, the priorities are: i386, amd64, then sparc64. =46rom my intuition from the ports PR statistics, our user base ratio is about 25:10:1 for those three.

I have a few sparc64 8.0-current machines here. If some dont work, I may be in a position to patch them so that they will - If there's any specific ports that people are more interested in, please let me know off list and i'll be happy to at least take a peek and possibly come up with some patches.

Once that gets done, I'll probably do another pass. I've started a couple of threads in the past about offering to chip in for hardware to support builds, and especially sparc64 freebsd-update. To move forward on that, what is the 'best bang for the buck' hardware that the project could use? Royce -- Royce D.

To be minimally useful for package builds the machines would need at least 512MB RAM (preferably more, at least 1GB), and CPU speed is obviously highly important (but also hard to come by with sparc64 hardware).
