In principle we can support more architectures than amd64,i386,armhf and arm64. However that would need further coordination with other Debian teams such as DSA [1] or the ftp masters [2] and it can't be decided by the LTS team alone. You must ensure that all security updates can be automatically built on Debian hardware and the whole process must comply with the requirements of said teams. Providing private infrastructure won't work. We could only maintain officially supported architectures like ppc64el but not powerpc which is merely a port. > 2, if I have a system can i compile a complete Debian distro image by pulling > all the packages? We currently support Debian 11 "bullseye". You can download all ppc64el packages from Debian mirrors and then apply the security patches from bullseye- security on top of your packages. Please note that those patches have not been tested for ppc64el. > 3. Should I have to pay for freexian to get LTS support ? LTS users don't have to pay for support but if you want to support the LTS project as a whole or make ppc64el security support happen, then I recommend to contact Freexian directly via their usual communication channels: [3] Regards, Markus [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DSA [2] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/FTPMaster [3] https://www.freexian.com/contact/
