Riastradh has added a new target to ./build.sh, pkg=CATEGORY/PACKAGE. It builds a cross-compilation toolchain for the given platform, bootstraps pkgsrc, sets up pkgsrc for cross-compilation, then builds the package. Pretty cool!

Now if only all software supported being cross-compiled... 🤔

Recent improvements in -current??

Improved performance with version 6.0+ SD cards through support for drive caches, we should see it in NetBSD 10.1 - thanks jmcneill.

Ethernet support on the RISC-V StarFive JH7110 - thanks skrll.

sh now has a suspend builtin, just like csh.

macallan is continuing his legendary work with writing drivers for vintage 2D accelerators, and has committed an accelerated X.Org driver for the HP Visualize EG.

awge (the Ethernet driver used on low-cost Allwinner ARM boards) now scales much better across multiple cores in CURRENT with the NET_MPSAFE kernel option - in case any of you are running firewalls on your Orange Pi!
