Thus, I’d like to target at least -mcpu=ultrasparc, preferably -mcpu=ultrasparc3.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;">If it’s a relatively straightforward process to package this up as a package and add it to OpenCSW, I could try to do that. Let me know if there is interest. I’m a big Python fan, so I’m working toward having a complete enough set of python tools to accomplish all the things I’m interested in.<o:p></o:p></div></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>This would indeed be interesting! Are you building your packages with GAR? That is a close to a requirement because</div><div>the packages must also conform to a special structure so the OpenCSW infrastructure can process them.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div><div><br></div><div> — Dago</div><br><div>
