'pkg update' required There's no package repository for PowerPC architecture. You'll need to build everything from ports. Others have recommended Poudriere, and it's an excellent tool, but if this is your primary or only machine then I would personally recommend ports-mgmt/synth. Synth is very similar to Poudriere, but is better-suited to a single-machine use case. Poudriere works pretty well for single-machine use cases, too, but it's overkill. It operates according to much more stringent standards that necessitate frequently rebuilding the same packages over and over. Simply upgrading a couple ports could require building a couple dozen all over again. -- :: Brandon J.
