I just realized that this might also be useful information to those on the ports lists too. For those that are also on the alpha mailing list, please forgive the duplicate post. -steve ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 08:00:45 -0500 (CDT) From: Steve Price <sprice@hiwaay.net> To: freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: FreeeBSD/Alpha ports collection I've finally made good on a promise that I made many moons ago. Anyone interested in using pre-packaged ports on their FreeBSD/ Alpha can now obtain them here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages What's there now is my first full build. It is a meager showing with only about half of the 2200 ports present. I've fixed a few little problems in my build script and am currently running another build. It is nearing the end of ports/lang and it has already packaged 900+ ports so there should be quite a few more there the next time. Some of them are still pretty rough and may not actually run since I couldn't really test all of them thoroughly. I welcome any and all comments/suggestions/flames. You can send them to me (steve@freebsd.org) or this list as appropriate. To start with and hardware/time permitting I'm going to try and get out a new set about once a week. I'm also making a concerted effort to cleanup the build scripts so that others may use them for similar endeavors. A special thanks to Jordan, Mike Smith, and the rest of the WC gang for building, setting up, and sending me a killer piece of hardware for doing the builds. An honorable mention also goes to Satoshi Asami for populating the ftp site with the packages that I sent to him.
