The Stretch alpha 8 installer is removed but alpha 7 is still there http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/stretch_di_alpha7/powerpc/ If they remove that too you'll have to install stable and upgrade or build them as John Paul Adrian Glaubitz mentioned in https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2016/11/msg00087.html /M

Packages like ghc or ruby2.3 need attention as they currently fail to build from source. As for debian-installer, it would be handy to have a powerpc machine available with sufficient disk space to be able to clone a current Debian powerpc unstable repository using reprepro. I actually have a Mac Mini G4 with Debian powerpc installed for that purpose, it's just currently not online. I could change that though. However, if someone provided me with access to a powerpc host for that matter, it would probably better. Adrian -- .''`.

But it's actually possible to build d-i installation images yourself, see this guide which goes through the procedure for hppa [1]. Note: This guide has one flaw: At one point it sets DI_DIR to: DI_DIR="/extra/deller/DEBIAN_INSTALLER/debian-installer/installer/build/tmp/netboot" This should, however, be: DI_DIR="/extra/deller/DEBIAN_INSTALLER/debian-installer/installer/build/tmp/cdrom" I'm planning to build updated powerpc installation images in the near future the same way I created them for sparc64 [2].

Everything which is not release is confined to unstable/experimental. Adrian -- .''`.

It still works with sid, but it does look like it disappeared from stretch, which if true is rather inconvinient for anyone that might have hoped to make an unofficial stretch release. I certainly never saw any mention that this would happen. -- Len Sorensen
