I'm not subscribed to this list, but I hear that there have been some questions about FreeBSD Update and !i386 playforms here. The current situation is as follows: 1. The client code works on several platforms (the ones listed as working in the port). 2. The server code might work on some non-i386 platforms, but probably not. 3. In any case, I'm not building updates for non-i386 systems yet. The client port is marked as working because, well, it does work. As long as there are updates for it to fetch. :-) For what it's worth, getting the FreeBSD Update build code running on other platforms, and getting updates built for at least AMD64 (other platforms will depend upon the demand and availability of build hardware) is one of my goals for the summer if I can raise enough money: http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/funding.html Colin Percival
