In contemplating bulk builds and resources, I wonder if there are still people who:
are running NetBSD/i386 (as opposed to amd64) are using the binary packges from quarterly branches on ftp.netbsd.org are running NetBSD 10 already, or who intend to move to it soon or after release If you have a system that meets the above, please either reply here (the first few people :-) or just answer me privately. (I'd also be interested in which category below your use is.) Basically, I would think about not doing bulk builds if very few want them, relative to the effort/resources required to create them. My guess is that at this point, i386 use is limited to a) old embedded-type systems (soekris) b) systems that are running i386 because they were first installed many years ago and haven't been converted to amd64 for no good reason or for some odd special case odd reason c) build systems to support category a/b systems, for testing or building private binary package sets d) retrocomputing and that the amount of use with ftp.n.o binary packages is extremely small. As a personal example -- and I am somewhat trailing edge -- I know of two NetBSD/i386 systems in category b (one each no good reason and one special case odd reason), and 2 in category c. I have one system that would be category a, replaced several years ago and powered off because it was underpowered, that I might or might not ever power up again, and if I did I wouldn't use ftp.n.o packages on it.
