I can't say anything about 4.x, but I have no problems building current ports on 8.2. I have backported a few crucial changes to make, like handling :tl and :tu, and that's about it. It may not be officially supported, but it's not hard to make it work for those who have a need. I also still support systems that use true ISA-slot hardware, but that doesn't include any storage or network controllers. Mostly the ISA cards are proprietary things, plus one ancient 8-port uart expansion card that amazingly still works and can still be purchased. -- Ian _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
