debian-testing installer on PPC
The daily builds never seem to work (at least not in the past weeks, when I tested it). Today I got a build of debian installer from Sven Luther, and that seems to work fine, so the problem is probably in the autobuilder.

This does not excuse the complete silence in the bug report from the d-i team. a simple note would have been best practice, and this kind of silent is what brings the level of frustration that debian cause. It is also sad that you needed to be insulting in another bug report, and me raise a fuss about this, in order for you to be reminded of our users, and properly inform them on this matter. > Let me also use this opportunity to remind the Debian PowerPC community > that are still looking for people willing to get involved more in the > installer for PowerPC and help us deal with port-specific issues. I stand ready to take my place in this, as i have always been. It is regretful that you chose to go the vendetta way, and did not respond to any of the conciliation proposals i initiated, in particular those around the wiki page. In particular, it is sad that you where the one who repeatedly asked for my expulsion. I will reiterate my words of then to you now : Frans, can we please forget old grudges and offenses, recognize that both parties have badly erred in this, and let's keep in mind the well being of our users, as we promised we would when we became DD in our social contract. But i have little hope that this will bring anything but you trying to get me banned from the BTS, and yet, after a year and a half, you have yet to find a replacement for my work. And our powerpc users are the one suffering from it. > In this case, this bug report from Peter was the first indication that > this issue also affected powerpc (thanks for submitting the report > Peter!). It took you over 10 days, and a fuss from my part to notice it though. Sadly, Sven Luher -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

My only remark on this would be, that such a critical bug like this was (the installer dies early), should have a bit earlier response, not just when it is fixed.
