Hi there.
While digging through d-i, I've noticed some signs of ppc64 port
(which was, as far as I remember, a heroic attempt to make a 64-bit
userland Debian port).
Do we actually need it and is anybody going to support/maintain it?

Hi Wart,
I have been running ppc64 port from
http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/ and it was fine when I tried it.

Hello,
a while ago I filed a few patches to the BTS to make d-i work on the
native 64-bit ppc64 port (http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org).
Frans Pop kindly asked me to collect all the necessary ppc64/d-i
related changes and to present a summary to make a decision about
ppc64 integration

Thank you for the overview. Please wait a bit before filing any new bugs
as we should first revert the decision made earlier
Hello Frans,
thank you for your detailed look at the summary and at the ppc64 port

Andreas, the powerpc 64bit archive may or may not be of interest, but since it
is perfectly ok to install a native p
easier for me to create a normal separate ppc64 port of d-i

I tried to make a minimal change to the 32-bit installer which gave an
extra '--arch ppc64' parameter to the debootstrap command. I also tried
to implement an extra menu to select between the powerpc and the ppc64
port on 64-bit machines.
I did not get a work

The ppc64 kernels are almost exactly the same as the powerpc64 kernels.
I had to change the package names from linux-image-*-powerpc64 to
linux-image-*

There is currently no cross-installer for amd64 as far as I know.
There is not even a 64-bit kernel flavor in the i386 repository.

Hello Andreas,
It took a while to release Beta 3, but we should now try to do add support
for ppc64 as soon as possible.

I've now committed this patch too, with a few minor modifications:
- there were some changes in pkg-lists recently for powerpc (no more
separate files for powerpc64);
- I've removed the "subarch" level in the config dir as ppc64 does
not have any subarches.
