Re: LTS Support on Power Architecture

Hi Markus,

 We do not want to provide unofficial service for ppc64le. We want to get ppc64le, Debian-LTS certified by Debian. We want to be officially Debian-LTS certified.  

Thanks and Regards,

Kiruthika. NV

If you would like to maintain a ppc64el image, then you provide an unofficial
service outside of the scope of LTS. We only support security updates for
binary packages and as I said that requires official Debian hardware and
infrastructure. I don't think your project meets our requirements to become an
official part of LTS but I assume some LTS users would find it helpful.
