Architectures

Hi,

I've noticed that in the packages section the components are at the moment x86_64 on the main page however it states that archbsd supports i686 and x86_64 - where are the i686 packages? My PC only supports i686.

I haven't built them yet, working on rewriting base PKGBUILDS, then x86_64 and i686 packages will be built together. I've only been building x86_64 for testing builds to make sure they are working correctly.

Fair enough - thanks for saying though that i686 packages will eventually be built at least then I'll be able to place ArchBSD on my desktop once it's ready.

I'm also planning on doing some ARM and Powerpc

Good to hear, Beastie! I'm looking at getting a PandaBoard soon and of course already have a Raspberry Pi, so will be willing to throw some weight into the ARM release. Other than seeing the arm directory in /sys I've no idea of the state of BSD on ARM.

I've got a bunch of GuruPlugs from work, I can definitely obtain a few for ARM testing.

Of course ARM runs NetBSD…

FreeBSD's ARM support is Tier 2: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/arm.html ; interestingly enough it looks like they're taking a lot of code from NetBSD.
