Not to step on anybody's toes, but is there anybody at all working on the sparc64 port? I mean, this list seems to be made up mainly of people who are waiting for the port to just appear. I've noticed that this week support for mips has popped up in various places throughout the CURRENT source tree, probably related to the mips port that appears to be progressing in near secrecy.

I've never done work this involved with freebsd and low level systems before, I'm not heading _anything_ i just noticed it was dead here and asked for some pointers. My current job requires very long hours, weekends as well, many deadlines, etc... (*) It seems to do this work you need to be not only an expert at assembler, but also an expert with gcc/egcs. I can claim some level of clue with machine lang, but hacking gcc, rebuiling it, hacking, rebuilding quite easily exahuasts the time i have. My advice to those waiting? wait harder, we need more waiters. -Alfred (*) it helps if you play a small violin at this point. > > I've noticed that this week support for mips has popped up in various > places throughout the CURRENT source tree, probably related to the mips > port that appears to be progressing in near secrecy.
