Re: Package binaries for NetBSD/sparc64 5.0 / pkgsrc-2009Q3

Hi,

I've uploaded the updates from a bulk rebuild for NetBSD/sparc64
5.0 to

   ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/sparc64/5.0_2009Q3/

This build was done from sources updated Nov 25th.

A total of 104MB of packages were uploaded, for a total of 285
packages.  The list of packages now available in new versions or
which were not available before is as follows:

gnats-4.1.0nb3
p5-HTML-Parser-3.63
php4-apc-4.4.9.2.0.4
wireshark-1.2.3
wordpress-2.8.6

Resend: free Ultra60 for pick-up in Silicon Valley CA, USA

I haven't had any takers for the Ultra60 locally yet, so if someone
in the USA would like me to try to ship it and is willing to reimburse
me for the cost of shipping, I'm willing to box it up and send it.

If there is no interest this time around I'll be advertising it on
Craigslist.org jfyi.

Cheers,
sr.

Re: Sun Elite3D firmware (afb.ucode) binary blob redistribution

   Wow, even with the lack of build tools, this is fantastic news!   
Thanks Sun!

XVR-1000 support

Hello,

I just committed a basic, unaccelerated driver for the XVR-1000 - gfb  
at mainbus. It's reasonably fast on my U60 ( using a shadow fb ) and X  
should work with the wsfb driver but that's untested so far, it will  
probably get colours wrong ( as in RGB vs. BGR )

have fun
Michael

free Sun CPUs, RAM, PCI & SBus cards & parts

I'm giving away the almost-final set of Sun CPUs, RAM, PCI & SBus
cards, and spare parts -- preference goes to anyone who would use
the stuff for the benefit of the NetBSD community, but really I
just want to find a home for the stuff if possible.

All I ask in return is repayment (in US$) for shipping.  The stuff
is located in Silicon Valley, CA, USA.  Local pickups are welcome.

Cheers,
sr.
