Also https://groups.google.com/group/puredarwin However, there's been no discussion of PPC code for quite some time, other than offhand mentions that the unified source code hasn't had much attention from Apple regarding whether it does or doesn't work on the PPC, for a long time. But 10.5 ended the maintaining of separate source trees. The xnu kernel by itself is fairly easy to build. I just upgraded Darwin/x86 8.0.1 to a hybrid system, still mostly 8.0.1 but running kernel 8.7.0. You would probably need updated system kernel extensions as well. -dai _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
