The /etc/apt/sources.list line for this is:

Indeed, many people are still using G3s or even older processors (e.g.,
older PowerMacs

As I understand the chips in question, the 740/750 actually has more

Does the preformance gain from optimizing for G3 warrant the extra package?

This is what -powerpc does.

Could you check if using -march=740 -mtune=740 for mplayer gives any
measurable performance benefit over the "generic" -m{arch,tune}=powerpc
on a G3? Is there anything

There is a -powerpc package *and* and -altivec package. AFAICS only
the latter is optimized.

IMHO, there should be 3 packages (applies to the kernel too):
1) Pre-G

Because there's a mplayer-powerpc package for CPUs without altivec.

I was under the impression that the G3 doesn't have altivec.

It seems that Apple's first G4s had 7400 CPUs so I'll use that for the
next -g4 build. I'll compare p

Thanks! I had trouble building mplayer 1.0pre1 with gcc-3.
Hi,
I've dumped mplayer packages based on Christian Marillat's excellent
packages to:
http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~agx/linux-ppc/debian/mplayer/
Feedback welcome, especially on the naming. Is mplayer-{powerpc,altivec}
o.k. or would it be better to call them -{ppc,g4}?
