I just got a Raspberry Pi and have put FreeBSD on= it.

I would be perfectly fine with pkg on raspberry pi getting updated twice a month since it's not as high priority. There are existing packages out there but they are becoming older and older. Some I've seen are as old as December 2012. The way to work around the long build time is install tmux and put it in the background and check on it every hour or so. > Matthew Raspberry --=20 ------- inum: 883510009902611 sip: jungleboogie@sip2sip.info xmpp: jungle-boogie@jit.si
