The figures represent the number of packages included in the directory. The numbers include the useless packages, for example, netscape for FreeBSD/i386. 1085 All 1053 Latest 13 archivers 6 astro 8 audio 11 benchmarks 5 biology 7 cad 19 chinese 13 comms 12 converters 8 databases 10 deskutils 64 devel 46 editors 4 elisp 21 emulators 134 games 4 german 70 graphics 116 japanese 23 korean 39 lang 45 mail 21 math 6 mbone 65 misc 121 net 20 news 6 offix 11 perl5 3 pilot 6 plan9 92 print 6 python 10 russian 25 security 5 shells 35 sysutils 2 tcl75 1 tcl76 4 tcl80 2 tcl81 37 textproc 7 tk41 6 tk42 32 tk80 2 tk81 7 vietnamese 46 www 56 x11 11 x11-clocks 5 x11-fm 21 x11-fonts 19 x11-toolkits 20 x11-wm I have not checked the reason of failure for all, but common reasons are: - dependency on i386 binary (qt etc.) - time_t conflicts (long vs int) - require machine/soundcard.h (most of auido ports) - tcl cannot be compiled without fpsetmask (many depedent ports) (I implemeted it, but to make it work correctly, we need to set compile option) I think I can help to work on ports for alpha, My machine is EB166 (666MHz) /\ Hidetoshi Shimokawa \/ simokawa@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP public key: finger -l simokawa@sat.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
