I've uploaded a new iso image and distribution tarball. I also put up a tar of a source tree I checked out of perforce with cvsup. This is already rather stale but it was requested by a few people. Best to untar it and then export it over nfs and update it with cvsup on another machine, or keep the source on another machine exported to your sparc. The toolchain has been setup so that it will Just Work for building most things in the tree, the make.conf has the right CC= for it. It should also work to build ports, I've built a few things with it. To use gcc directly you need to put /arch/sparc64/hosted/bin in your path. Make buildworld will not complete due to the compiler in the tree not being ready; use the usual procedure for building outside of buildworld (make obj; make depend; make all; make install). I recommend installing this from scratch if you installed from a previous ISO or tarball, this will ensure that there is no cruft lying around. It should work fine to untar it on top of an existing system, but you're kind of on your own if you do this :) In case you didn't see the announcement on other mailing lists, there will be a developer preview release of 5.0-CURRENT on (or around) April 1st, called DP1. This will include sparc64 bits in such form that we have available, and the tarball and iso I just put up are probably it. Think of this as release candidate 1. The kernel that's included in the tarball is known to have some problems, but it should work ok on most machines. I will probably reroll the bits once more before the official DP1 to update the kernel and in case any changes to the userland are needed. Once again you can get this stuff here: http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/sparc64/ Thanks for your patience.
