Bug#783655: www.debian.org: addition of ppc64el page to ports
Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: ppc64el
Dear Maintainer,
With ppc64el support included on Debian jessie, debian.org pages that contain
information regarding architectures need to be updated.
I have created a patch that adds a new directory with an index.wml to ports.
Also some other pages needed to be updated:
- Motorola/IBM PowerPC must be changed at www.debian.org/releases/jessie/.
I also changed the order of the list so powerpc and POWER go close to each
other.
- in ports/index.wml, change ppc64el status to released with its proper link
and remove the redirection to the wiki. Change it to the correct page.
- add a page for ppc64el.
Since I had to test these changes I also changed the Makefile. I am not sure if
that is necessary, but it is included in the patch anyway.
Please see the patch attached and let me know if you have any concerns.
Thank you.
Fernando
