I'm the only person working on this; currently "get freebsd update building running for non-i386" is stalled waiting for "rewrite freebsd update building code to remove the ugly hacks needed for pre-6.0", which is stalled waiting both for me to have more free time and for some new hardware to become available (I hear that it's on the way). I was expecting to get some work done on this over the summer, but I ended up spending most of that time working on portsnap instead. Colin Percival
