I'm on ia64 mainly and sometimes on sparc64, and I understand the consequences of my choice. Anyway, I love the FreeBSD ports system and hate to see something lacking there. I'll talk to hrs@ and see how the above 2 packages can be included/updated. For me this is a better route compared to having a binary bypassing the ports and available on only 2 arches. Will update if this is successful. -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
