Used to the Linux world for more than 8 years,Debian,OpenSuSE,deb,rpm etc. I want to experiment with FreeBSD and install the new 7.1 on my iMac rev.A Bondi Blue.,however I have some questions: 1)Pre-compiled packages of the ports collection I see only for i386,ia64,amd64 on the ftp://ftp.freebsd.org site,when I put the cursor over the link Package in the ports package list,the link is for the i386 compiled package.So,where can I find pre-compiled packages for the ppc architecture? 2) Used to the security features of the packaging systems in Linux,automated signature verification of packages previous to the installation etc.,openpgp keys for package maintainers,for the distribution itself etc. the best I could see in freebsd is the hash sums in the distinfo files,for source code files,what about the pre-compiled files?,signed individually and to verify with pkg_check?
