you will have to build that package yourself.
We might build contrib and non-free packages for Debian Ports
in the future, but I am not sure whether that's possible from
the legal point of view.

I forgot to mention. You need to install the package "debian-ports-archive-keyring":

In case you are prompted to install from an untrusted source, say "Y".
Then run "apt update" again.

Hi All,
I created a small image of Debian Buster/Sid PPC64 today. I recommend to use it if you have any problems with Adrian's ISOs. Please increase the partition with GParted after you copied the image to an empty partition. I had to decrease the partition a little bit and after that I was able to increase the partition.
Download:
debian-9.0-ppc64.img
root (password "amigaone")
amigaone (password "amigaone")
First steps
- Configure your network device with dhclient
- Check the network device with ip a
- Update the package index with apt-get update
- Install Xorg with apt-get install xorg
- After that you could install the MATE desktop with apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
- Then you could install a display manager for example "lightdm" with apt-get install lightdm
- Afterwards reboot your AmigaOne
Cheers,
Christian

I created a Debian 11 PPC64 image with the new Open Surge 0.5.2.1.
I uploaded this image today. Download:

FYI: Bug#995223: libffi: SIGILL on powerpc and ppc64 systems since libffi8

Hi!
Multiple users on powerpc and ppc64 have reported SIGILL crashes after upgrading to libffi8 (3.4.x):
# dmesg
...
[ 16.257543] fail2ban-server[384]: illegal instruction (4) at
3fffb4283970 nip 3fffb4283970 lr 3fffb4282f90 code 1 in
libffi.so.8.1.0[3fffb427b000+c000]
...
Downgrading to libffi7 fixes the problem.
It has been reported that building and using the upstream version does not reproduce this issue. But I have not yet independently verified that. It might be that libffi performs a runtime detection during build which causes the library to be built with a higher baseline on the POWER8 buildds.

Control: severity -1 serious
Hello!
It turns out that m4/ax_gcc_archflag.m4 contains code to detect the
baseline of the host system and sets the GCC architecture accordingly.
Thus, a libffi compiled on a POWER8 machine will not work on a POWER5
machine as the compiler is emitting POWER8 instructions in this case.
Since the m4 script contains such a host enviroment detection for aarch64
as well [1], this bug can potentially affect arm64 which is a release
architecture.
We should therefore pass "--enable-portable-binary" in debian/rules.

I tested new Fienix, it is nice-looking, and well prepared, with easy installation from image. But missing some things - like lxde what I am using from beginning
So I want to install current Debian Sid. Debian is my favorite distro, and my working Debian 8 also today lacks some software.
Few years ago I did it this way - I installed Debian to Powermac G5 from cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/ and after that copy installed image to X1000 and use xeno74's kernel. But this time I have a little problems with Powermac cooling. So maybe i won't be able to install it on Powermac.
In such case I have in plan use xeno74's image and upgrade it to Sid:
Please, is this version latest Debian img? Or is better use last MintPPC image for that?

From my side yes. The MintPPC diskimage is from Roland.

Thank you. As I have still problems with my powermac, I installed Debian from your image and upgrade to current packages.
All without problems. Now I will install few things like lxde, make backup and be ready for testing!
