Note that I also don't maintain nor support ppc32 for the g5 neither. It works, but I will do no special effort on it. We really need to kick the ppc64 effort into life asap, though that requires at least a more recent gcc and a more recent glibc, which seems to be yet another can of worms with debian... > > Personally, I'd be happy with completely depracating the -power3 and > > -power4 kernels until we have a 64 bit biarch compiler package. > > Nope, first we need to get the biarch toolchain, and then we can > deprecate the power3 and power4 kernels.
