What is the current status of BinDeps2 and how to get an overview about available builders? I remember some Pkg3 discussions about bringing in the bin dependencies into Pkg3 manifests(?), but i don’t see updates on that also.

Have you watched the JuliaCon talk?

Obviously i didn’t. Nothing as written documentation?

Let’s say, i read this already and it doesn’t answer my question about how to find

… and the Readme.md with 6 months old isn’t really convincing …

Sorry, that’s all I’ve got for you.

Can you explain what you mean by “available builders”? Do you mean what kinds of platforms BinaryBuilder can target (you can get this through `BinaryBuilder.supported_platforms()`, see below) or what kinds of platforms BinaryBuilder runs on? (Currently Linux x86\_64, and MacOS, although Linux is much better supported)
```julia
julia> triplet.(BinaryBuilder.supported_platforms())
13-element Array{String,1}:
"i686-linux-gnu"
"x86_64-linux-gnu"
"aarch64-linux-gnu"
"arm-linux-gnueabihf"
"powerpc64le-linux-gnu"
"i686-linux-musl"
"x86_64-linux-musl"
"aarch64-linux-musl"
"arm-linux-musleabihf"
"x86_64-apple-darwin14"
"x86_64-unknown-freebsd11.1"
"i686-w64-mingw32"
"x86_64-w64-mingw32"
```

Oh, I see what you mean. We’re planning on collecting them here: [GitHub - JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil: Collection of builder repositories for BinaryBuilder.jl](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil)
