I see this pop up every now and then but for something like MacOS
would you use this over homebrew or macports? I have never seen it
mentioned in those conversations.

pkgsrc also works on latest Apple M1 and small group of people do us
it on Mac :)

Does anyone know if jperkin is planning on making an arm64/aarch64
bootstrap (and, by extension, bulk builds) for the M1?

I don't mind building from source, but easily accessible binaries
definitely makes life simpler.

yes I am, but unfortunately it is taking a lot longer than I hoped for

I finally got hardware at the beginning of the year after a few
delays, then I forgot to have SIP disabled before it was installed at
our office, then covid meant nobody could go in and fix that for me,
and now it has travelled across to us-east to be put into a new DC and
I'm waiting for that to be hooked up and someone with a crash cart to
go and disable SIP for me

but yeh, as soon as I finally get access to it I'll be kicking off the
bulk builds asap
