* Some math libraries come with assembly for multiple platforms.
* A good example is the GNU gmp library. I do agree however that
* we should probably seriously consider adding ${ARCH}_ONLY and
* BROKEN_${ARCH} to bsd.port.mk.
Well, the idea was to have a "Makefile.${ARCH}" that defines these
stuff. Do you think having variables is better?
* I'll have some time after next Wednesday (family reunion in
* Texas starting tomorrow) to work up some patches. Got any
* preferences for the new features. One think someone should
* probably take a look at how (Net|Open)BSD is handling this.
* They have a ports tree that looks somewhat like our own and
* surely they have something in there to handle multiple archs.
"Someone". :)
Meanwhile, if you can get them to work with "#ifdef __alpha" or
whatever, go right ahead. Shimokawa-san, do you want commit access?
* I certainly wouldn't mind seeing a weekly status report. I'll
* let Satoshi speak for himself. :) However we should probably
* hold off on sending this out to everyone at least in the very
* near term until we get established who's doing what and where
* all the packages are going to live. Otherwise we'll be fielding
* tons of Email asking where things are and if our only answer
* is "on our personal machines" they could get miffed.
I can create a package-alpha dir on wcarchive if someone can build the
packages. Actually, are those buildable on i386 machines under a
chroot dir? If so, I can even build those myself. :)
