Hi,

We're not actively looking for a solution to integrate your ports tough, but of course, you're invited to do so.
yep, we should spend more of us time in this problem. an old proposal (e.g. the .$ARCH extensions) demanded changes in the pkgutils, but Per also prefer a "server side" solution
We (the maintainers I've discussed this with so far, not CLC as an entity) would suggest that you maintain PPC specific ports (yaboot etc) and ports from CLC which require changes to work on PPC (mplayer, openoffice-bin etc) in your own repository, so CRUX PPC users can get your tree and the one from CLC and have all ports in a working state; they just have to look in your ports directory first.
this can be a _temporary_ solution, for me, using also mppm
If there are ports which don't work on PPC because the they are x86 specific without good reasons (like hardcoded CFLAGS and the like), please report this as a bug and we'll try to fix it.
oh, sure :) thank you for your help, regards -- Giulivo Navigante GnuPG KeyID: E468396A
