Where did the power3/power4 ppc64 flavours go ?
===============================================
As of 2.6.12, and anticipating the inclusion of a powerpc biarch
toolchain in debian sid and then etch, we have dropped the 32bit
ppc64 flavours. I will provide unofficial -pseries (replace all
previous 64bit flavours) at :
http://people.debian.org/~luther/ppc64
until we are able to build them inside of debian, which will
hopefully be only a couple of weeks now.
But if you feel impatient, here are the instructions on how to build
those arches yourselves :
1) install the ubuntu/breezy glibc and gcc-4.0 packages (preferably
in a sid chroot)
2) go into debian/arch/powerpc
3) rename the 32bit flavours to noconfig.powerpc[-smp]
4) rename the 64bit flavours to config.pseries
5) edit Makefile.inc, and change the last three lines to :
headers_subarch = powerpc
build_subarch = powerpc64
default_config = pseries
6) go into the toplevel, and launch :
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -B
This should build you a couple of packages, where you would be interested
in the linux-image-2.6.12-1-pseries and linux-headers-2.6.12-1-pseries ones.
Enjoy,
Sven Luther
