Debian GNU/Linux PPC64 porting and build machinein category Operating Systems

Project Proposal
The Open Server Workstation will be used to improve the Debian PPC64 port. This goal can be achieved using the system as porting/development machine, which will be used by Debian developers and contributors to debug and compile packages for both 32-bit and 64-bit powerpc binaries.In addition, the server will be used as builder for the entire debian distribution. Actually, debian-ppc64 port is developed, tested and autobuilt using a single PowerMac G5. Considering the large size of the Debian archive, which already compiles in a ppc-64 environment for 98% of the source packages, this could be a good test in order to enable Debian support for the Open Server Workstation.
