Supported architectures for minimals (any ppc users out there?)

Supported architectures for minimals (any ppc users out there?)

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

I would suggest dropping support for linux-ppc for the ConTeXt
distribution unless somebody objects.

I'm surprised about the number of ppc users on Mac (and would be
curious to get more off-list feedback from those still using it). TeX
Live planned to drop support this year, but it seems that it's staying
for now. We are currently cross-compiling the binaries, but at the
moment both luajittex and metapost compilations seem to be broken.

We also don't seem to have any kfreebsd or sparc-solaris users, but as
long as their builders enjoy supplying the binaries, that's fine by me
;)

On the other hand I need to sit down one day and fix support for
cygwin. I'm sorry that this didn't happen yet.

Mojca

Hi Mojca,

AFAIK, I'm one of the two people who used linux-ppc, but that machine is 
no longer used as a desktop, so that's completely fine by me. And should 
I aver need the binaries, I know how to compile them...

Hi,

Thomas A. S. was (again) wondering if there were (still) any users of
linux-ppc binaries out there.

We'll probably remove them otherwise (not sure why we didn't do that
yet, but well ...)

Hi,

I removed the binaries for linux-ppc. If anyone needs them, we could
consider adding them back, (but at this point it made absolutely no
sense to keep compiling the binaries without being aware of any
users).
