Aldis, I've a much more interesting, ambitious and challenging proposal - FreeBSD ia64! The FreeBSD ia64 port has the potential to be the FreeBSD HPC solution. But we are not there yet. Despite being able to run the latest -current with zfs, SMP and other latest features and successfully building 17559 ports, FreeBSD ia64 desperately needs motivated and skilled programmers to work on: - kernel debugging: the port suffers from spontaneous reboots under heavy load - building llvm on ia64: http://llvm-ia64.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/llvm-ia64/ - building gcc44 and 45 on ia64: these ports don't build at present, and there are lots of other very useful ports which depend on gcc44 (or 45). - optimisation: very little work has been done on this on ia64 so far. Work is needed on compiler flags, optimisation of low level (assembly) routines, SMP and zfs performance. See also this list of things to do: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ia64/todo.html YOu can check which ports need work here: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/packagestats.html In particular, this page lists ports which failed to build: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ia64-8-latest/ If you look at Aff. (affected) field, you can pick ports which affect lots of other ports. Then, of course, there are ports which we aren't even building on ia64 portcluster: http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ia64-8-latest/duds.verbose Any work on these is very helpful. yours anton Unfortunately I don't have any ia64 pc's to work with.

FreeBSD OpenOffice Packages of i686
Hello! I'm creating OpenOffice 3.1.1 packages for FreeBSD-8-RELEASE, for i686 cpu. CPUTYPE?=i686 In few hours my work will be finished. I've found site that would host these packages [Linux Center of Latvia Univercity], but they want some FreeBSD developer to verify quality of my builds, before they host them on their server for public use. They wanted that some FreeBSD developer, would check packages, and make checksum file. And then somehow publish it on FreeBSD site or somehow otherwise. I asked if this checksum file could be send directly to them as email. Currently I'm waiting reply from Linux Center. Would any developer sign for this? You could download some few random packages (or all if you like) with SCP, and check them, if they work, have any issues etc Then I could create temp accound on my FreeBSD box, and let Dev to log on, and make checksum file (I think it's best if you make it on my PC, because this way you won't have to download 10-15GB of OOO packages, which might be very time consuming), then using SCP copy this file over to your PC (or somehow otherwise, if you have ideas). And send it to Linux Center (I will give email, later) After that, I will make README file, and sign all packages with my PGP public key (and provide info how to retrieve it) What do you think about this? Anyone want to do this? P.S. I'm still waiting reply from Linux Center if they will accept this Thanks in advance, Aldis Berjoza aka killasmurf86 -- Aldis Berjoza *** MĒKLĒJU DARBU :D *** Tev ir vienreizēja iespēja iegūt labu darbinieku IT sfērā, ar lielu motivāciju pilnveidoties un apgūt jaunas zināšanas CV: http://www.cv.lv/client/fullcv.php?cv_id=3227015 nepalaid garām :D My public GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x7ED573D3 pgpYtq52IbUf8.pgp Description: PGP signature
