If you would like to maintain a ppc64el image, then you provide an unofficial
service outside of the scope of LTS. We only support security updates for
binary packages and as I said that requires official Debian hardware and
infrastructure. I don't think your project meets our requirements to become an
official part of LTS but I assume some LTS users would find it helpful.

Hi Markus,
Thank you for your email.
The Power architecture which I mentioned in my email is for ppc64el.

If I want to get ppc64el security support, I can work by compiling all the
"Bulls Eye" debian packages on ppc64el, I can apply security patches on top
of that and I can test the final image on my system which is ppc64el (P9
system). Is my understanding right or do I have to work with Freexian only?

Overall I will have to adhere to the standards marked at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DSA
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/FTPMaster


Thanks and Regards,
Kiruthika. NV

Sure you can do that. That would also work for other architectures. You are
free to apply our patches and you don't have to work with Freexian for that.

Hi Markus,
If the Debian OS image (Bulls Eye + Security packages) which i built adhere
to  https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DSA ,
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/FTPMaster, can Debian community say ppc64el
is LTS supported until 2026

Note:
While i build the complete image for PPC64le,  if the security patches need
rework, i will do and post the patches to Debian community

Thanks,
NVK
