I'm planning that ppc64 binary packages will be replaced to ones built without VMX options, in order to be also supported non-VMX CPU machines like e5500 one. But it is difficult to be distinguished from packages which were built after 2014-03-01. So, I'm planning that almost all ppc64 binary packages will be rebuilt as binNMU. I have already given binNMU command for only ppc64 port to wanna-build DB at the last Friday, but there are many many source packages, that command takes long long time. Wait a moment. > ./ I would like to know please if there are some active work on the > PowerPC64 ports ?

I want to construct a ppc64 porterbox chroot on partch.debian.org (a POWER7 machine), if recommendation from DD and recognitions are obtained.
