    Hi!

    Thanks to a very generous donation by IBM we have now a new porterbox for powerpc and ppc64 (big-endian) available [1].

    The machine the porterbox VM is hosted on is pretty fast an also hosts an additional buildd for both powerpc and ppc64.

    If there are any issues with the machine, please get in contact with me or James.

    Could you kindly add buster-backports schroot to perotto?
    Thanks for your support!

    Cheers,

    There is unfortunately currently no support for any release version of Debian in Debian Ports. I have been wanting to get support for Tier II releases in Debian Ports for a while now, but for that to happen we would need to get our own Britney instance.

    Maybe after the Bullseye release.

    Now I remember and understand ports don't have stable releases.
    Yes, I also hope ppc64 can soon "graduate" from ports after bullseye.
