Welcome to the Archlinux PPC porting project. The goal of the project is to make our favourite distribution Archlinux available for the PPC architecture.

Native 64bit crosstoolchain

I have just added two packages to testing: crossbinutils-ppc64 crossgcc-ppc64 These are capable of building kernels for your favorite 64bit platform. Keep in mind that these are not meant for general purpose use such as compiling a whole new base system. Most likely you will need a differently configured toolchain for this kind of thing or bang your head against ...

Freshened Zero in OpenJDK brings Vuze to Arch/PPC

Hello everybody, we thought it would be interesting news that our latest OpenJDK build - a IcedTea pre-1.5 - has a stable enough Zero to support Vuze on Linux/PPC. Though slow, we still put it up in [testing] to let you try it out. :) Best, The Arch/PPC Team

Infrastructual changes before the end of the year

Hello everybody, we silently introduced the rotation of ftp.archlinuxppc.org on a DNS level.

Xfce 4.3.3, GNOME 2.24 and more

Thanks to DaNiMoTh we now can offer you the latest releases of both Xfce and GNOME. Get it while it's still hot and crispy! No major issues while installing GNOME are known, except that during upgrade procedures you will probably see a few gconf warnings which we verified are safe to be ignored.
