Is there interest in a 64-bits version ?

Definitely yes. I would like a root partition image for compiling and creating some PPC64 SeaLion and BrassMonkey packages.

I just reinstalled Mirari, and install Voir, Fienix and MintPPC32-bit.
MintPPC is best for me.

I would ask about default sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ sid main
deb http://incoming.ports.debian.org/buildd/ sid main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main
deb [arch=all] http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main
# 'unreleased' does not support sources yet
# deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports/ unreleased main

## MintPPC32 repository
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/MintPPC32_repository.asc] http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/repo unstable main

## MintPPC32 additional repository
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/MintPPC32_additional_repository.asc] http://u58733p55594.web0093.zxcs-klant.nl/wicknix ./

There is /debian-ports/ sid - id it safe to upgrade to latest packages?
Because Sid is sometimes broken. I several times this way broke my X1000 Debian installation...

Or is best change sid to snapshot.debian.org for some tested date?

Thanks!

Upgrading is fine. Yhe only thing you need to pay attention to is xorg. If that gets updated, you have to do the trick to remove the libglamoregl.so:

Code: Select all

mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak

Your sources.list looks good, don’t use snapshot.

@MintPPC
Thank you! I will try it.

Mirari with MintPPC works very nice, I have dual monitor configuration. It can be easily configured with Display setup.

I will be away for some time. When I return I will make a root partition.

Thank you.

I saw you have a powerpc64 root partition now to build packages right? Debian sid ppc64 is basically the same as MintPPC64 for building.

Yes, that’s right. I don’t need a MintPPC64 root disk image anymore.

I can compile the Linux PPC64 version of SeaLion but unfortunately it doesn't start. I don’t see any error messages during the start of SeaLion.

I guess you miss some libraries which are used in SeaLion.

It’s not a Debian PPC64 specific issue. It doesn’t start on Fedora 28 PPC64 and on openSUSE Tumbleweed PPC64 either.
