Re: Not building for powerpc any more
Hi list,
I am still a PPC Debian user (for my old G3 laptop), but I mostly run i386 or amd64... I don't have a problem if the mailing list goes, as long as there's still forum support somewhere... Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that some of us PPC users are still around, wishing you all the best !
By the way, I take advantage of this post to express how thrilled I am by the big improvement from Gnash ! It now works well !!! Congrats to the Gnash devs !

not per se, but in its current state is has (reportedly, I don't have
powerpc around) too many endianess related bugs and is not usable. Of
course it's just a matter of interested developers fixing that, if
someone feels like working on that, please get in touch with
