CRUX ports added to portdb
Posted: 2022-12-30 Filed under: misc | Tags: CRUX, portdb, ports, repo Leave a commentMy collection of CRUX ports has been just added to the portdb section at CRUX’s web-site, as ppetrov.

Own ports and packages repos for CRUX
Posted: 2021-09-01 Filed under: system | Tags: apache, CRUX, pkg-get, prt-get, repo 1 CommentI’ve been using CRUX as my main system for couple of months now. My PC has an nice CPU and lots of RAM, so compiling stuff on it is not a problem.
