[15:05] <rtg> infinity, I pushed a patch to drop powerpc-smp and powerpc-e500mc in anticipation of Ubuntu removing support for 32 bit powerpc. I assume that is something on your todo list for the installer(s) ?
[15:06] <rtg> for Zesty, of course
[15:08] <apw> rtg, doesn't that announcement imply we are dropping the whole of 32bit powerpc architecture ?
[15:10] <rtg> apw, given tha I am completely unfamiliar with powerpc, what you're saying implies Ubuntu has no 64 bit big endian user space either
[15:31] <apw> right, they are all kernels in the 32 userspace
[15:34] <rtg> apw, so there are some 64 bit aplications that can run in a 32 bit user space, right ? I found that a bit confusing when trying to figure out what we actually did support.
[15:35] <rtg> so we can stop building any powerpc kernels for Zesty.
[16:02] <apw> i believe that will be true, but i guess we don't do anything till the arch is gone in the archive
[16:03] <rtg> apw, I'll drop that patch then.
[16:43] <infinity> rtg: Unpush that.
[16:43] <infinity> rtg: powerpc should maintain the status quo until we drop *the entire arch* (ie: stop building it).
[16:44] <infinity> rtg: Ahh, I see you and Andy reached the same conclusion.
