Below is a list of packages known to build on various non-NetBSD

+platforms. Currently, there are three categories. If all packages in a given
+category build, install, run and uninstall without any problems, then that
+platform satisfies the conditions for this category and may be labeled
+appropriately.

'supported' means that pkgsrc on this platform is more than just
experimental and can actually be used to provide a reliable environment
-for the average user.
+for the average user. Note that by their requirements, these packages pull in
+virtually all _essential_ packages that are not explicitly mentioned.
+
A 'fully supported' platform supports virtually all packages (if
available for that platform) and can reliably be used in a production
environment.
+
'yowza' finally adds a handful of packages that are known to be very
complex and may not even be fully functional under NetBSD on platforms
other than i386.
+
You are strongly encouraged to add leaf packages which are known to
build on certain platforms.
