Hi Thorsten, that seems to argue for reducing the list of packages in m68k or other ports. Some programs are obviously useless on low-power platforms, for instance, most of the packages with the Field::Biology tag. If you are interested I would be willing to inspect the corner cases (such as mencal ?), in order to devise a better filter for listing the packages related to biology and bioinformatics to skip on m68k, and other low-power architectures if their porters are intersted.
