Hi Sven, hi all, First of all, sorry for mixing discussions about buildd relocation and usability buildds with the "ppc64" string in their uname for building the powerpc port in the future. I have now separated the threads accordingly. Good luck to Voltaire in his trip.

I have just looked at the buildd information of Ubuntu, and it seems that they use only G3/G4 machines: https://launchpad.net/+builds/royal https://launchpad.net/+builds/adare https://launchpad.net/+builds/ross Or am I just confused and they meant that they build *for* G3/G4 ?
