Raspberry Pi package repository

Hi folks!

I've bought a Raspberry Pi, to use it as a print and scanner server. As I see, there isn't a repository for this platform. I've searched and I decided I've set up a small(!) repository. You can access the data here. Now there are only a few packages but I want to expand it (maybe depending on your demand).

The currently available package list is here.

Update: the repository isn't available because there is an official ARM repository since 11.0.

It would be nice to have Midnight Commander - I'm pretty lost without it.

A slighty larger repository maintained by @sbruno@ can be found here: http://chips.ysv.freebsd.org/packages

Currently it provides approx. 18,500 packages. But beware, they're only built-tested and only a couple of them have been really used, so far.
So if you find any ARM-specific issues, please report them.

I have a Seagate GoFlex Home NAS device: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home.

This runs on ARM using Arch Linux. I just wondered if there would be any chance of installing FreeBSD on it at some point.

Yes, I know about it but I don't need any docs, examples, nls, xorg dependencies, etc. So my own-build packages are "minimal". And I'm using them on my Raspberry Pi so they're a little using-tested ;)

edit: And I needed scan support on graphics/hplip to use my HP scanner on the network.
 
Not on http://pkg.freebsd.org at least.

I don't really see a big benefit of running 10.x over 11.0-CURRENT on a Raspberry Pi considering that it's still a Tier 2 architecture with no binary updates (and no packages on 10.x).
Then again I only have a Raspberry Pi 2 which has no official release anyway...
