Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.135
Severity: normal

Hello, ...

This bug is just to start a discussion place on how to best handle the
ARCH=ppc|ppc64 to ARCH=powerpc switch for powerpc.

I am not sure how to best handle this in linux-2.6/kernel-package. Upto now i
had a powerpc/powerpc64 flavour, which did the right thing and setted ARCH
accordyingly, but we now need to distinguish between three cases : ppc, ppc64
and powerpc, while powerpc only really makes sense for kernel version 2.6.15
and up, and ppc64 is dead as of 2.6.15, but 32bit ppc may still be around
some time.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
