Hello sparc64ers, The FreeBSD Security Team has access to some sparc64 hardware and we're debating using this to make FreeBSD Update work on the sparc64 platform. Unfortunately the words "fast" and "sparc64" don't seem to go together very well, so FreeBSD Update builds take rather longer on sparc64 than they do on i386 or amd64. In many cases, we will not want to delay sending out a security advisory in order to wait for sparc64 builds to complete. Would you find it useful to have FreeBSD Update working for sparc64 if you often had to wait 24 hours or more after a security advisory went out before FreeBSD Update could fetch patches for you?
