Regarding the old 32 bit powerpc-utils, now pmac-utils, I am no

2016. For reasons not apparent to me, it was removed from testing in
November that year.
Well, I added myself to uploaders and did some updating (and
renaming) with your consent, I didn't realise you thought I
was taking over maintainership entirely. ;)


Yep, rereading the last .changes I realized it wasn't a change or addition of maintainership.

We had discussed that option before, must have got me confused.


No idea how I missed the FTBFS that caused removal though. Maybe the package rename?


While I still have hardware that this package is relevant for, I'd have to upgrade from jessie to unstable to continue supporting the package. Getting jessie to run was enough of a mission, and is only limping along after X related updates last year - installing unstable failed outright when I tried a little over two years ago. Happy to help testing patches, but this is best taken over by a fresh team.


Cheers,

Either way, I also have no idea why it ended up removed from the
archive, as I hadn't actually been watching.  That's curious.
