It was originally decreed by the Board that we wouldn't drop PowerPC from being a primary architecture until some other architecture has actually shown that the infrastructure for secondary architectures is working. We still don't have any secondary architectures gearing up to ship Fedora 11 -- it would be really interesting to know why that is. What technical barriers are still there -- why don't we have a release yet? I think that at this point it's acceptable to leave the fate of the port to the people who most care about it -- but if there are infrastructure or other problems which would block a release _regardless_ of how hard the port maintainers work, that's less reasonable. So a report from our existing secondary architecture teams on why they haven't managed to release yet would be useful input to next week's meeting. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
