hello.
although this list seems a bit dead i thought it nice to announce my prescence. i am about to try the version at http://www.samnjack.com/crux-amd64/ and maybe do some experimenting of my own from there on. There's another ISO/build setup at http://www.magog.se/crux-amd64/
According to the webpage there's a fully functional ISO image available.
i already tried this one a while back, but i get a kernel panic or something similar when booting.
i found this link, http://home.ix.netcom.com/~ejohns/glfs-amd64/index.html that i hope can be helpful.
is there still anyone out there interested in this project? As far as I can tell, no real subproject has been created so far, but there's certainly (growing) interest in an x86_64 / amd64 port of CRUX. Also questions regarding a port to amd64 come up rather frequently in the crux IRC channel, so I'd expect that finding testers should not be a problem. I've also heard from others that they plan to get an amd64, and they'd like to work on a crux port for it.
As for port maintenance, we (at CLC) are looking into a way to simplify merging between multiple platforms, but we're not quite there yet. (if you're interested please read https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/clc-devel/2004-December/000730.html https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/clc-devel/2005-March/000793.html https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/clc-devel/2005-March/000798.html ).
Please keep us informed about your progress.
this looks very interesting and i'll definitely get back when and if i make some progress. cheers, lars
