| 09:33.20 | warai_otoko | psydroid: thanks for the link but somehow it's missing powerpc? |
| 09:46.44 | psydroid | warai_otoko, it isn't, http://archive.debian.org/debian/README |
| 09:47.26 | psydroid | but Debian 8.x isn't supported anymore |
| 09:49.15 | psydroid | I had Debian Sid running for a while, but the signing key had expired so I didn't look into it anymore and installed OpenBSD instead, which works quite well on the hardware |
| 10:50.32 | warai_otoko | psydroid: okay, so updates for Debian 8.x ceased completely? I'm planning something similar but with FreeBSD on old i686 machine ð |
| 11:09.49 | psydroid | warai_otoko it's not supported on powerpc indeed and with Debian Sid there are issues, which I don't feel like dealing with at this point. I think it's fine to stop supporting old hardware, as long as that is clearly communicated |
| 11:11.54 | psydroid | I also have issues with Debian Sid PPC64 on my Powermac G5, but currently FreeBSD has some problems with that hardware too |
| 11:12.43 | psydroid | going forward I am thinking of keeping Debian Linux only on my newer hardware, I have some QEMU machines on my laptop anyway |
| 11:25.51 | warai_otoko | psydroid: what you decided to take instead of Debian? staying with FreeBSD? |
| 11:29.21 | psydroid | warai_otoko on my G4 I recently installed OpenBSD 6.4 and all packages they had available, whereas on the G5 I had FreeBSD 11.1 running for 2 weeks but wiped that in favour of Debian Sid PPC64 |
| 11:30.07 | psydroid | I will probably go back to FreeBSD in the future, when they have fixed things |
| 11:31.08 | psydroid | some things are just broken in Debian on PPC and PPC64 |
| 11:32.17 | psydroid | I think the major focus is on PPC64EL on POWER8/9 hardware |
