Is there a list somewhere of who is responsible for which buildd? I've already provided that info a few times. For the centralized D-I buildds (which includes powerpc) Luk Claes and Otavio Salvador are the persons who set up the buildds and who are AFAIK the only people who currently have the access required to maintain the buildds. I have seen no mails from them on the d-boot list requesting help with that, so I can only assume they're still willing to maintain them (although the evidence seems to indicate otherwise). If it doesn't get fixed, there's not much point in claiming that Debian supports PowerPC architecture... Bullshit. I agree that it's a huge nuisance for testing and that the daily builds really should be available, but the alpha1 release works just fine (except for the known issues) and a next release will also not have this issue. For testing the current development status of the installer you could always build your own images. It's not that hard. Your point about not supporting powerpc is a gross exaggeration and to be honest I'm getting pretty tired of your repeating that any time *volunteers* don't jump quickly enough to your liking. So far I've also not seen that much actual help with arch-specific D-I development from the Debian powerpc community, despite repeated calls for help from our side.

However, there are images for powerpc alpha which do work. The images that do not work are from before alpha1 was released. I had a similar problem with the pre alpha builds but my problem was the the network card couldn't be configured. I was not sure whether it couldn't find the drivers for the network card or not only knew that it would not configure the network card and that is where installation would come to a halt. This was fixed with the alpha1 builds. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with sid daily builds because the installation is unable to mount the cdrom driver once the installation starts. However maybe that has changed and will test a sid build and see if it can find the network drivers to install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
