@Carlos:
We can only hope. Letrs see what happend with RHEL, Microwatt, OpenPOWER, Open Source PowerISA.
Also a good thing is: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/ibm/bounties

Yeah, this sounds good. Too bad i do not have any recent POWER machines to join, although i believe more experienced developers would take the bounties anyway.

@Carlos:
Here is the thread about PPC32: https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2020/01/msg00007.html
The previous messages in this thread are also funny ;-)

Somehow i found it more sad than funny; calling PowerPC dead and obsolete is not funny, but just plain dumb. There are still a lot of hardware (evaluation boards, embedded systems, etc.) which still uses 32-bit PowerPC CPU-s. Maybe it's not mainstream, but it's far from dead. For instance NXP still sells boards with MPC560/MPC563 series. Or there are some OpenBlockS machines (266) which must be widely used enough if NetBSD gives them a Tier I. support rank.

@Carlos:
Here is a good thing, too

Good news indeed, go Glaubitz! I like the guy for his work in keeping PowerPC and Sparc64 Debian alive. Maybe we will finally have some binary repositories too?

Kecskebaszók ide!
