I'll note that https://github.com/jrmarino/Ravenports says: Official Website Please visit http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems for additional and current information. Ravenports has its own repository: Unlike ports-mgmt/synth, Ravenports is not based on the FreeBSD ports tree in FreeBSD. So switching is more than a tool change. The list of available ports is visible at: http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems/catalog/ It said "2,356 entries" at the time I looked. They are just getting started. It looks like for those not on x86-64/amd64 and aarch64 will possibly be out of range for Ravenports. Also some *BSD's may be as well. Details: Extracting some text from the Supported Platforms area of the http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems/ page. . . (Track by looking at the original page.) . . . For the core developers, the main architectures targeted are the x86_64 and ARM Aarch64. New architecture support from serious contributors capable of performing the initial bootstrap and periodic quality-assurance builds of the entire Ravenports tree will be accepted into the project. Long Term Support increasingly unlikely • Darwin/Mac OSX/x86_64 • OpenBSD/amd64 • NetBSD/amd64 • i386 (Linux and *BSD) Short Term Platform support planned • Solaris 10+ / Illumos • FreeBSD/ARM64 • Linux/AArch64 Current Currently supported platforms • DragonFly 4.9 and later • FreeBSD/amd64 Release 11 and later • Linux/x86-64 (glib 2.6.32-based) (I listed the contents of the 3 boxes in right-box to left-box order.) === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
