Adam,
I can add ppc64el, but someone else will need to compile it even on
powerpc - my toolchain is in a truly sorry state.
I could NMU-with-consent, or even add myself to Uploaders and co-
maintain, if you'd be okay with that?
I'd be absolutely OK with that.
Given the upload history,
I get the impression it's mostly self-maintaining anyway, but it
wouldn't hurt to bring it up to current packaging/toolchain/etc
standards, and I'd be happy to do that.
Go ahead - I still use Debian on my powerbook but I admit to being
mostly out of it now, A bit of m68k stuff, not much time for anything
else.
With ppc Macs not longer a moving target, there's the odd wishlist item
filed that I can't really do much about, and it's tracking package
standards changes and such like mostly. Still tends to bitrot if not
looked after.
I'll look into the epoch thing - do I need to conflict on
powerpc-ibm-utils as well?
Nope. We're carrying both (just as Debian is), we just accidentally
got an inflated version number when someone took an IBM wishlist
"please upgrade to new version" bug at face value without looking
closely enough, and I had to revert:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powerpc-utils/1.2.18+r1.1.3
-24ubuntu1
Happens if you're in a hurry I guess. If adding an epoch sorts it out
for you, I'm fine with that.
Thanks for pointing out that powerpc-ibm-utils has already been
packaged. I'll try to keep that in mind for the next odd wishlist
request in a few year's time.
Packaged, and orphaned. I think I'll rescue -ibm-utils while I'm on
this warpath, and make sure the world's in good shape.
I would have expected better of them. Anyway, if that keeps them off
our back, it's well worth the effort.
Thanks for volunteering,
Michael
