From: asami@FreeBSD.ORG (Satoshi Asami) Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org * 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. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
