I agree with Yves-Alexis. I am quite happy to read upstream kernel people like Benjamin on this list. Moreover, seeing people from other distros coming here makes me think Debian is also a reference for those people who might as well use Debian in the end, instead of what they planned to use originally. > Once upon a time, this list was actually used for its purpose as > declared on > > http://lists.debian.org/ports.html Just for the history record, what was the name of that particular list? :) > i.e. to discuss technical issues of the Debian powerpc port.

YMMV. Well, for debian-68k, the developing list at nocrew.org is not used anymore. Things evolve and, to my mind, regrouping users and developers might not be a bad thing. Cheers, -- .''`.
