Hi Rick
What about this?
deb http //archive.debian.org/debian/
<http://archive.debian.org/debian/> jessie contrib main non-free
Does it work for you?
Cheers

Hi Gianluca,
Colton (and I) want to use Jessie (Debian 8) because it is the last
working Debian version that supports powerpc and ppc64.
Unfortunately, the repo at
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ only has unreleased,
unstable, and experimental. Nothing there that looks like it is
usable for jessie.
Adrian's work on getting a "ports" version for Debian 10 is still a
work-in-progress and not yet suitable for a "production" machine.
There's a bunch of us helping with the effort, and we are hopeful we
can get it going soon. Big kudos to Adrian for spearheading the effort!
Rick

Hi Colton
Have you tried a newer installer image from here?
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/
Then I think you can use this line in sources.list
deb http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ unstable main
At least I was using that if I remember correctly
Cheers

Good day everyone,
I was wondering if someone could please point me in the
direction of a repository to use with Debian 8 PowerPC
netinst? Due to brittle plastics my iBook G4 is going to be
staying with its original CD drive and will not be able to use
DVDs.
I would also like to set up my own repository server in the
near future and make it available to the public. I am
currently gathering the hardware and should be set up sometime
next week.
Thank you,
Colton
