Dear LaMont Jones Please can you do the requested changes on P-A-S now?
Dear Reinhard >> Couly you please make it doesn't build on powerpc anymore and close this bug? >> (see the debian/control file, Architecture: field) > > Please don't do that! > > There is no way in debian/control to express "build on anything but,,,", > The only option you'd have is to make a list like "build only on...". No this is not true, one can use [!powerpc]. > Better write some lines on the top of debian/rules which checks if it is > run on a blacklist of architectures (like powerpc), and use the $(error) > make command to fail the build.

The software builds perfectly on powerpc, it's just nobody can ever play it with more than 3 frames per second, because NVidia (nor ATI) will give you accelerated drivers for those graphics card for linux. > As for overusing the buildds: The buildd maintainers will detect this > after the first failure, and add the package to the NFU list. NFU? > I'm doing this change in svn now. Again, please do not. Thank you, Gürkan Nvidias statement as of 11/06/07 22:13 is: I'm afraid there are currently no plans to support Linux on the PowerPC architecture.
