- There are no powerpc machines currently online at *.FreeBSD.org. - The powerpc machines that we run on are far slower than the tinderbox machines. - Even if we had powerpc machines available, and could deal with the time-lag for world builds, what then about archs with no native machines available (e.g. MIPS)? Cross compilation is needed in this case. mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
