debian-installer release date is august 1, no advancement on smaller powerpc kernels or oldworld/miboot flavour.
Hello,
Well, action needs to be taken, i believe. The debian-installer release date
has been set to august 1, and i don't believe that it would be reasonable to
continue modularizing the powerpc kernel unto then, since it could result in
unneeded breakage so near the release. A 2.6.7-4 upload with the packages
currently in subversion should be a good thing though, since it fixes the
stability issue due to the G4 errata problem, which affects the pegasos, but
may also affect some Apple hardware, not sure though.
Anyway, i believe that it is needed to take action now, and build a new
powerpc-oldworld-pmac config which is especially suited to building miboot
floppies for the oldworld pmac debian-installer, for those who don't have mac
os 9 anymore and still want to install debian on their pmac hardware.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
