Yes the ports don't get very much attention. But the PPC port was an
every other release port from the begining. So 8.0 was released, 8.1
was skipped, 8.2 was released, 9.0 was skipped... 9.1 is in progress.


so, in the future mdk is going to have:
- i586
- ia64
- x64 (amd 64bit)
- ppc
(- alpha?)
(- sparc?)

with the way mdk is currently working they won't be able to handle it.
Who said we were going to? I suppose ia64 and x64 are likely, but
alpha and sparc? Those I sincerely doubt.

I also don't see why we would want them to begin with. How many
desktop users do you know that use an alpha or sparc at home on their
desktop? =)


They'll need to:
1/ automate the building process over multiple platforms
2/ further improve the quality of the rpms (dependancies / provides / requires)

This should be done regardless, even if it's only x86 and PPC.

I've something running here at the moment, rebuilding alpha + i586 and uploading the alpha packages it builds. I'll be happy to set it up for mdk.
