<p>There are some things going on with &os;/sparc64 port behind
the scenes.</p>
<p>For one, after having fixed all remaining problems and starting
with 9.2-RELEASE, release bits for this architecture are
cross-built on the &os; Project cluster. As one might already
have noticed, this means that from now on, sparc64 install sets
and images including those for ALPHA, BETA, and RC builds, are
already available along with those for the other platforms
supported by &os;. It also means that since August 2013,
automatically cross-built monthly &os;/sparc64 snapshots are
distributed via the official project mirrors. Hopefully, this
can be soon extended further with <tt>freebsd-update(8)</tt>
support for sparc64.</p>
<p>Second, the X.Org ports have been fixed to work on sparc64 when
built with <tt>WITH_NEW_XORG</tt> knob. However, it still needs
to be evaluated whether the recently committed update to Mesa
9.1.6 has introduced any breakage.</p>
