<http://www.facebook.com/njgrind>Let me preface this by saying if I've messaged the wrong list for an issue with PKGNG on the 32 bit PPC port of FreeBSD, sorry! I've got a FreeBSD 9.0 powerpc install running on an old Apple PowerBook G4. The OS itself functions beautifully (even though it's certainly due to make the jump to 10 like my x64 servers) however after upgrading from pkg_* tools to pkg, it is unable to do...well, anything. I checked the main server that my usual pkg config makes a call to and it seems it only hosts x86 and x86_64 binaries. Does pkg ONLY support x86, or am I just too stupid to find a server hosting the PPC 32bit binaries? I've spent a few hours scouring google and mailing lists to no avail. While ports are an obvious solution to my conundrum, I'd rather not have to build everything by source on this slow piece of machinery. If there's a solution available or in the works, I'd be very happy to know about it. Thanks! -Samantha
