I am planning to restart the ppc64 porting project using the debian-ports

I want the ppc64 port to be joined to the official by the time debian will be
released.
How about this plan?

Hi there.
While digging through d-i, I've noticed some signs of ppc64 port
(which was, as far as I remember, a heroic attempt to make a 64-bit
userland Debian port).
Do we actually need it and is anybody going to support/maintain it?

The issue, Andrzej, is that Lenny is not autodetecting anything at all.
Everything in 'xorg.conf' is generic, the nv driver is not activated, nor is

Hello.
Checking the arch requalification wiki page, I've noticed that powerpc
port is at risk, partly because of just 2 maintainers mentioned.
Is that true, and if it is, who are those two brave guys? ;)
As I use the port extensively, I'd surely like to help.
Is there a TODO list anywhere?
