Thanks, I've updated the page to reflect that. > OpenBSD currently only provides packages and host tools for aarch64, > amd64, i386 and sparc64. Sorry, I'm not clear on what you mean by this. Do you mean OpenBSD provides Rust packages and tools for aarch64, amd64, i386 and sparc64? Or some more general statement about openbsd support for those platforms. For purposes of this matrix, I'm considering upstream Rust support, not toolchain packaging (I'll be looking at that later). If you do have rust packages and host tools for sparc64, that would imply support is better than shown on https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.html which notes 'sparc64-unknown-openbsd' as having "unknown or WiP" std library support and no support for building host tools. Does that page need to be updated? > So for the Wiki armv7, MIPS (64-bit), PPC (32-bit) should be changed > to N/A. https://www.openbsd.org/plat.html lists armv7, mips64 (loongson/octeon) and ppc32 (macppc) as supported platforms. Is that no longer correct? > The SPARC (64-bit) entry should be changed to yellow. Can you confirm that your Rust port has full std library support and can build the host tools? If so can you talk to the Rust people about updating their page? > I'd like to fill in the gaps for arm, mips64, mips64el, powerpc, powerpc64, > and riscv64. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
