Ehm yes. I think they guarantee something like 10 years of availability since the announcement. I know there are atleast a dozen libs which didn't make a transition in this port. That means you need some hand crafting until the buildd can take over. So if you look at [0] there are only 51 packeges ready to built and 6983 require some deps which are not yet available. This means only around 27% of the port is complete port and we were once at around 91%. Unless I'm wrong, the archive purges packages _all packages after a few days if new packages arrive which is another problem. So I'm not even sure a complete bootstrap is still possible… That means if you read this and you need this port working please step up and do something :) [0] http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/architecture.php?a=powerpcspe&suite=sid > - k Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
