Justin B Rye commented on this, too, but his mail didn't make it on the debian-www and debian-powerpc lists, so I send it again. (Sorry, l10n-english list, you will get this a second time.) Maybe we can use his suggestion?

You need something more like "has been continued", so it would be just about workable to say: The Debian PowerPC port was first officially released with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (`potato'). Support for PowerPC has been continued since and is currently available with Debian GNU/Linux <6.0 (`squeeze')>. But talking about "support" for an architecture being "available with" a release makes me vaguely uncomfortable. Also, the previous paragraph starts with "The Debian PowerPC port began...", so it feels repetitive. I'd prefer to just say something like: It first became an official "release architecture" with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 (`potato') and has retained that status ever since. See the release notes and installation manual for further information. The fewer cobweb-traps the better - see also the out-of-date Potato/Woody references lower down the page. You may have noticed that I find it hard to copyedit www.debian.org pages without being filled with an urge to throw it all away and start from scratch... this time preferably without a "ports" directory. -- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Created with Sylpheed 3.0.2 under DEBIAN GNU/LINUX 6.0 - S q u e e z e Registered LinuxUser #311290 - http://counter.li.org/ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
