|
|
I was looking for the Sparc ISOs and I can't seem to find them on any of the mirrors. Is Sparc no longer supported?

The 1.1a directory was deleted. There are 1.2, 1.3a, 1.3b and 1.4 directories, none of which contain any sparc files. |

Are they considering dropping Sparc support? Or have the just not had enough time. |

The support of a port takes a lot of work to maintain. The sparc hardware is also expensive and uncommon. I hope Gentoo support for the sparc architecture continues strong, but if a bunch of developers dont have time to work on it this port will go away. |

But where are the tarballs (if anywhere?)
iso's don't do me any good, I need to tarball for the install. |

Do you not have a writeable CD drive of some sort? _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

But don't have a CDROM Drive on the sparc.
Guess I'll just need to find a program to upack the ISO onto a harddrive and get the tarball out. (Yup, knew they are in the tarball, just didn't want to go through the xtra effort if I didn't have to) |
