Sorry but I'm not sure how to handle that request. I'm not familiarized with ports and Power PC architectures, and I see that: - http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports does not list powerpc - https://www.debian.org/ports does not list ppc64 - the powerpcspe entry in www.debian.org/ports leads to a wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/PowerPCSPEPort, not a web page and... > > The same applies to alpha, hppa, m68k, sh4, sparc64 and x32. > > Note: We don’t have installation images for some of the architectures yet, > but that’s being worked on. > This makes me think about writing that info not in each particular port's page, but maybe in the main www.debian.org/ports/index page, right between "List of other ports" and the actual list? In any case, I'm a bit clueless about the specific wording. My proposal would be the attached diff (to the general ports page, www.debian.org/ports/index) What do you think?
