Does secondary status mean it will be harder to get
ppc rpm packages? Or harder to get ppc version iso
images?
Guess we should be hoping the PS3 use as a linux box
really takes off or XBOX 360 gets hacked to use ppc
linux -- so that the powers that be may see fit to
keep ppc arch in the mainstream. Does Fedora PPC get
any real help at all from IBM or YellowDog considering
both use ppc linux and fedora as a base quite
extensively??
Thanks-
James.

The leaders of the Fedora Project have discussed
making ppc a "secondary" arch
when we have the infrastructure in place for
secondary arches to exist and
function well. David Woodhouse has stated that he
would be more than happy
to be the arch maintainer for PPC as a secondary
arch once the infrastructure
is in place and proven to work. This may not be
until the Fedora 8
timeframe. Until then we will continue to produce a
PPC port of Fedora for
all 1% of our users (:
