| 16:17.07 | donofrio | Sorch, what won't listen or won't drop BE support? |
| 16:17.19 | Sorch | they won't listen |
| 16:17.21 | Sorch | :/ |
| 16:17.58 | Sorch | and its annoying because i have 2 g4 machines and 3 g5 |
| 16:18.52 | Sorch | donofrio, still use PPC as a daily? |
| 16:23.00 | donofrio | yes, I have three powerbooks, six mac mini's, and two g5's as well.... |
| 16:23.59 | donofrio | I still use old hardware daily (even @work, my notebook is a MacBook Pro 1,1 loaded with debian8 ppc goodness..... |
| 16:24.15 | donofrio | strike that 1,1 is x86 but it's still 11 years old.... |

| 16:49.53 | donofrio | missmbob> donofrio: yeah, it's done. too late |
| 16:50.02 | donofrio | <missmbob> donofrio: it's already removed from debian 9's alpha installer as well: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2016/20161112 |
| 16:50.15 | donofrio | my reply was: "donofrio> missmbob, why was this done and I'm sure backup's exist, we still need this - after all - debian in suppose to run everywhere....please help" |
| 16:52.00 | donofrio | bremner> https://release.debian.org/stretch/arch_policy.html |
| 16:52.13 | donofrio | <bremner> I expect not enough people helped with the port is the main problem |
| 16:52.33 | donofrio | donofrio> it's not just me, hundreds of us still use Big Endian even in 2016 and hopefull for ten more years if we can.... |
| 16:52.49 | donofrio | <missmbob> donofrio: i'm afraid no one can help you |

| 16:53.16 | donofrio | bremner> ask the people on https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/ , I guess |
| 16:54.20 | donofrio | bremner> probably read some of the backlog to get context |
| 16:56.29 | donofrio | #hope - maurer> The short version is that there needs to be a (qualified, with existing debian developer experience) crew of people running each architecture, and powerpc bigendian doesn't have one |
| 16:57.16 | donofrio | #missedthepoint "maurer> Even after it stops being present in stable, aiui it will remain in sid, so it's not like it won't be installable |
| 16:57.16 | donofrio | <maurer> it's just nobody will be cutting releases and trying to hit it with security updates" |
| 17:24.29 | mns | donofrio: it seems that powerpc may get moved to Debian Ports. https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2016/11/msg00001.html |
| 17:26.43 | mns | I just lost my G4/agp/dual because I suspect the power-supply got fried recently. good timing I guess. Ideally I would like to have a powerpc system around. I like the architecture better than x86. |
