Bug#783655: www.debian.org: addition of ppc64el page to ports
Package: www.debian.org
Followup-For: Bug #783655
Hello Paul et al.
My apologies for taking long to come back to this.
So I have made some additions to the powerpc page instead of adding a new
ppc64el page/directory to the tree.
I don't know if it looks good, but it is something.
Not sure if I really could but I also added a toc to the page.
With all this, would it be possible to make the address
debian.org/ports/ppc64el re-direct to debian.org/ports/powerpc, just like
it is with arm/armel?
Also, attention to the patch because there is a block that is changing the
releases page, because there is a "Motorola/IBM PowerPC" (?) redirecting to
ppc64el page which is not correct.
Patch file is attached.
Thanks!
