humble request: Minimals for linux ppc

[Piotr Kopszak]

Any chance for that in the near future? 

Otherwise, be warned :) I will
probably flood the list with questions  how to make texlive debian-lenny-ppc
installation work with mkIV (Sadly new xml mkIV commands don't work on
ppc, although  they do on my other x86_64 linux box).

Any chance that you provide the binaries (and that you do that on a
more or less regular basis; or let's say once per month)?

svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/minimals-src/build-binaries

Change the first few lines in both scripts, so that your platform will
resolve to linux-ppc (if you have problems with that, feel free to ask
for help).

case "$system" in
  # linux
  Linux)
    case "$cpu" in
      i*86) platform="linux" ;;
      x86_64|ia64) platform="linux-64" ;;
      *) platform="unknown" ;;
    esac ;;
  # Mac OS X
  Darwin)
    case "$cpu" in
      ppc*|powerpc|power*|Power*) platform="osx-ppc" ;;
      i*86) platform="osx-intel" ;;
      *) platform="unknown" ;;
    esac ;;

Once you build the binaries successfully, we'll add the platform &
give you the rights to commit new versions of binaries.

Gladly! I prefer building Minimals myself than trying to figure out what went wrong with my TeX setup :)
