Re: Progress with usability of AMD64

[note: this question probably should have been asked and answered on
freebsd-ports@, but I'll go ahead and answer it here in any case.]

The latest chart that compares package status across build environments
is at http://portsmon.freebsd.org/chartsandgraphs/package_comparison.html.
Note: the detail pages that it points to are several weeks stale. (The
copies on my development machine are up-to-date, however).

The full list of what ports do not package on amd64-7 is at
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/chartsandgraphs/package_failures_list.amd64-7.html.
It will give you more information than you probably want to know about
the exact state of amd64-7 as of that date.

On my machine, the latest stats for amd64-7 are the following:

232 errors
1195 skipped ports
548 dependent ports

as opposed to i386-7:

268 errors
636 skipped ports
429 dependent ports

and i386-6:

70 errors
449 skipped ports
217 dependent ports

and amd64-6:

62 errors
1007 skipped ports
775 dependent ports

I've been trying to do a lot of work to give us metrics about the state
of the packages, but this work is not yet in production.

Note: some of these numbers are a little high because a patch file for
java/diablo-jdk15 didn't fetch properly, leading to a bunch of dependent
java ports not being built. This has now been fixed.
