Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to leave for the weekend before all of the packages finish downloading from cheribsd.org
The fetch programs are a little broken because CheriBSD uses a different package command. Also how does fastfetch depend on all of xfce?
David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)For other people confused by this:
Unfortunately, not all packages work with the pure-capability (memory safe) ABI. In particular, things that can’t be compiled with clang don’t. CheriBSD is set up to with two pkg variants, one that installs pure-capability packages and one that installs AArch64 ones. The default pkg command is removed to make this explicit so you know exactly what you’re getting (though you can symlink pkg64c or pkg64 to pkg if you want).
Of we get the CheriBSD things upstreamed, I’d like to have a fallback mode for pkg that installs from a second ABI if the first is not available for the entire dependency graph. This would probably have been necessary already if pkg had been available early in the 32 to 64-bit transition.
@david_chisnall yeah, this was just me thinking about the very long tail of porting efforts; pretty sure the memory safety of fastfetch isn't the most pressing research problem 😂 so it makes sense it hasn't been patched to sum pkg64 and pkg64c invocations for package counts
