just to note that there is a thread on the gnu-linux-libre list[1] where this had been discussed over the course of a month while the parabola PPC port was been developed - that thread was started by the FSF asking if any FSDG distros were working on PPC support - in the last message there[2], andreas had released a preview tarball and asked for feedback and to generally "open the floor to any discussions about the future of the port" - as far as i know, no feedback came and no further work has been done on the port since then
that was just to say that the recent message quoted in this thread had added no new information that the FSF did not already know - so i take john's response like "tell us some more details" is just a reflection of that fact - you could have simply bumped the existing thread with a "hey, has there been any progress recently" or "hey, has anyone from the FSF tried the preview release and has any comments or suggestions?" - the original post had mentioned some "partners" that were interested in evaluating the port and even helping somehow; but whoever they were did not reveal themselves either - if anything, this will maybe re-spark the discussion;; but it seems to me there is really nothing new to say about this on our end - the volley-ball was already fully in the FSF's court [1]: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-05/msg00057.html [2]: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/gnu-linux-libre/2018-06/msg00031.html _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.parabola.nu https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
