Are you using the traditional build technique or some variant of Satoshi's parallel build scripts? BTW, have any of your fixes been incorporated? I've missed them if they have. Since, Satoshi was cc'd on this maybe we should start to think about a BROKEN_ALPHA a 'la BROKEN_ELF? # I think I can help to work on ports for alpha, My machine is EB166 (666MHz) Got a spare one of these? :) Seriously is this a machine that you could (mostly) dedicate to building Alpha packages? What kind of connectivity to *.freebsd.org do you have? If it is pretty good maybe we could set something up to ship the packages over to one of Satoshi's build machines. The ultimate would be to have an Alpha machine among Satoshi's arsenal that could build a new package tree every couple of days, but beggars can't be choosers as the old saying goes. :) Satoshi, Could we start a fledgling package tree for Alpha with the ones Shimokawa-san already has? -steve # /\ Hidetoshi Shimokawa # \/ simokawa@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp # PGP public key: finger -l simokawa@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp # To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
