Thank you for the overview. Please wait a bit before filing any new bugs as we should first revert the decision made earlier. I've taken a look at your patch directory and AFAICT there are two other bugs open that will prevent you from building d-i "from the archive": busybox and gnupg. I will put your request on the agenda for the next meeting and will let you know afterwards. There is still the structural question of "why add support for an arch that basically nobody in the project sees any future for" with some even actively saying it's a suboptimal solution. We'll have to balance that question against the extra maintenance that the addition of any port does cost. There is also the alternative option of allowing you to maintain (parts of) the needed changes in a branch. The two patches that need most to be discussed are: - debian-installer: doing this in a branch instead could be an option - linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6: looks like it would work, but also fairly invasive for a package that already has a huge control file Cheers, FJP
