Thanks to you and Theo for the explanation, will keep that in mind.

The update went smoothly as always.

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? ;-). I think for the last 5 or so
releases I updated pretty soon after the official release, so this looks
new...

I once donated a ppc g4 mac mini to some openbsd dev. If it helps, I
could donate my loongson box. Just let me know.

mips64el packages deprecated?

2017-05-05 Thread Roland Kammerer
Hi guys,

Today I upgraded to OpenBSD 6.1 and saw that none of the mirrors seem to
contain packages for mips64el anymore. For example compare [1] and [2].

Is that intentional? I wonder because mips64el is still in the "Many
pre-built packages for each architecture" list[3].

Are they still building? Am I one of the last 3 people that have
Loongsons? ;-)
