Hi guys, I've written to the FSF about the Parabola PPC port. This is something that has been developed and discussed (in IRC mainly) by oaken-source, ebrasca, ovruni, lukeshu and me. We already have some packages in our repos, and already ported the -any packages. Some of the next goals are: create a feature-rich autobuilder, get more hardware to test it, make Parabola to have full support over this architecture and write the installation guide for it.
Ppl at the FSF are now asking for more details (see the forwarded email below), and unfortunately I do not have time right now to answer them (AFAIK oaken-source neither), so if any of you devs (lukeshu, ovruni, ebrasca, or someone else who has worked in this) can help, please. -------- Mensaje reenviado -------- Asunto: [gnu.org #1326235] Parabola: a future libre PowerPC distro Fecha: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 20:35:37 -0400 De: John Sullivan via RT <[email protected]> Responder a: [email protected] Para: [email protected] Hi David, I've added our tech and licensing teams to this ticket, and included your full message below for their context.
