Anyone interested in using pre-packaged ports on their FreeBSD/ Alpha can now obtain them here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/alpha/packages What's there now is my first full build. It is a meager showing with only about half of the 2200 ports present. I've fixed a few little problems in my build script and am currently running another build. It is nearing the end of ports/lang and it has already packaged 900+ ports so there should be quite a few more there the next time. Some of them are still pretty rough and may not actually run since I couldn't really test all of them thoroughly. I welcome any and all comments/suggestions/flames. You can send them to me (steve@freebsd.org) or this list as appropriate. To start with and hardware/time permitting I'm going to try and get out a new set about once a week. I'm also making a concerted effort to cleanup the build scripts so that they others may use them for similar endeavors. A special thanks to Jordan, Mike Smith, and the rest of the WC gang for building, setting up, and sending me a killer piece of hardware for doing the builds. An honorable mention also goes to Satoshi Asami for populating the ftp site with the packages that I sent to him.
