Hi all:
Just a heads-up for those beginning to test or use FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE or
12/STABLE, the alternate TCP congestion control algorithm CUBIC (cc_cubic) is
currently broken and causes complete stalls of certain network traffic (e.g.,
rsync, git checkouts, etc.), as well as what appears to

This only happens if someone explicitly configured the use of the alterna

I ran into problems compiling the CDE in FreeBSD 12.0 RC3 (PowerPC) on my eMac.

Hi everyone,
I think I found a bug… it's on a desktop system I keep on the last version and
it's going from 11.2 to 12.0. The resume is:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.0-RELEASE
(…)
Does this look reasonable (y/n)? n

A re-start wasn't what I expected. The program let me edit a file and asked

As for powerpc on tier 1, I'm afraid that it's not likely to ever
happen. Powerpc is dying. If anybody were buying new ppc hardware,
then it would be a different story. But I predict that powerpc is
likely to be dropped than to go Tier 1. Sorry.

I don't know of anyone else who has tried to run it.
The server-class ports on powerpc64 have been in good shape for several
years. However, the desk
Let's speak with a bit more precision. PowerPC (32-bit), with only a
lingering handful of embedded uses is "dying" and is only marginally
more relevant than the likes of sparc64.
PPC64 with the advent of Power9 is the only real alternative platform
to amd64 in the data center and the only platfor
If we are talking powerpc32 and not powerpc64 (as I assumed), the one
developer continuing to actively work on it is jhibbits@. Perhaps he
can give you a status report.

I really wish people would stop saying "XXX is dying".

I'm curious, isn't arm64 also a contender in this market ?
