> Besides the matters recently discussed on the list, a few notable
> developments in The Tcpdump Group CI took place since the previous
> update:
>
> * Another MIPS worker has been doing builds in the pool for a month. It
>   runs a snapshot of NetBSD-current. Although NetBSD runs
>   single-processor only on this hardware, it looks stable enough. This
>   is the so-called "n32" variety of 64-bit MIPS, which means mostly
>   32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel. The "n64" variety (64-bit
>   userspace) came into existence not long ago, but it is not usable
>   enough yet.
> * The Linux/POWER9 worker in addition to GCC and Clang recently started
>   to use IBM XL C. Consequently, it currently builds the largest
>   matrices: 48 permutations for tcpdump, 12 for libpcap and 6 for
>   tcpslice.
> * The build scripts in most cases started to request compilers to treat
>   warnings as errors. To that end, most warnings have been addressed
>   and only one exemption remains (libpcap on NetBSD). This way it
>   should be easier to notice subtle regressions than before.
>
> Cheers.
