gentoo lowered sparc support :-(

"hppa and sparc destabilized: Since we do not have hardware readily available anymore and these architectures mostly fill a retrocomputing niche, stable keywords have been dropped for both hppa (PA-RISC) and sparc. The architectures will remain supported with testing keywords." https://www.gentoo.org/news/2026/01/05/new-year.html

Picked up some quality literature about a RISC I'm willing to take #sparc64 #sparc

Today I had #Nim bootstrapping the compiler on an IBM Z aka zSeries/zSystems, #sparc64 , HPPA and powerpc. It already supported x86, ARM, #riscv etc. Not many other languages are portable to such extent.

The build farm provided by Debian was instrumental.

TIL that #SPARC64 is still being developed and manufaturered, and is fully open and royalty-free.

If #SPARC is an open ISA, why don't we hear more about it, and see more hobby projects featuring it?

Oh man, both manufacturers are/have already discontinued it :blobcatsad:

/me crying... I didn't knew #sparc64 stations firmware download needs paid support from Oracle. And I bought those from ebay.... Any way to get around this? (I have a T2000 and a T3-1)

I have a #sparc64 with 4 disks. I want to install #OpenBSD on raid0 on all disks.
Sadly I currently get
```
installboot: realpath: No such file or directory

Failed to install bootblocks.
You will not be able to boot OpenBSD from sd4.
```

How to partition/disklabel a sparc64 to boot from raid0?

I already tried to create a 1 GiB RAID1 + remaining RAID0. Same error.

Did already read https://man.openbsd.org/sparc64/disklabel and https://man.openbsd.org/softraid.4

😦

Do I have any #sparc64 friends that would like to help me port #dlang to sparc64?

I believe there is only one remaining blocker, but I don't know enough sparc64 assembly to do it right I don't think.

Boosts welcome.

Ui, ich habe nun ein #sunmicrosystems Netra X1 #Server mit #sparc64 Prozessor. Was nimmt eins denn da? #FreeBSD oder ein altes #Solaris8? Ein vernünftiges System.
