I didn't realise that the ports system worked for sparc- that's great news. I had forgotten that perl was removed from current, as I usually replace it with the port in any case. It looks like there is still some work to do to replace the userland scripts that rely on perl (adduser, etc) before 5.0 comes out- or will the perl port just be installed by default?
