Will the availabluty be as good as the other ports [supported ports: ia64 and ppc unsupported ports: alpha & sparc (long time ago)].

It seems mdk isn't very serious about ports to other archs. PPC hasn't been released for a few versions of the product and how is ia64 coming along?

Looks like maintaining ports is a best effort activity of a few lunatics...

Yes the ports don't get very much attention.  But the PPC port was an
every other release port from the begining.  So 8.0 was released, 8.1
was skipped, 8.2 was released, 9.0 was skipped... 9.1 is in progress.

so, in the future mdk is going to have:
- i586
- ia64
- x64 (amd 64bit)
- ppc
(- alpha?)
(- sparc?)

with the way mdk is currently working they won't be able to handle it. They'll need to:
1/ automate the building process over multiple platforms
2/ further improve the quality of the rpms (dependancies / provides / requires)
