Thanks for the other hint about PPC. Can you please retry the installation?

I had problems cross-compiling luatex, so it remained at an old
version for quite some time. After the issue had been fixed, I still
had a tiny bug in my scripts which prevented the new binaries to be
uploaded.

If others (FreeBSD) have problems - many people have problems with
commiting files to the SVN repository. It seems to be some SVN version
incompatibility issue, but I do not dare touching svn on the server.
