No marillat support for PPC?

audiorevolution · 05-17-2005, 12:17 AM

Upon adding the following basic repositories:

Code:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat stable main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat unstable main
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat testing main

and running apt-get update, I'm greeted with the following long response:

As a PPC Ubuntu user, the only conclusion I'm reaching is that the nerim.net marillat repository does not support PPC users. I find this to be a bit absurd, however, considering Ubuntu/Debian's pledge towards a universal open source operating system.

Am I right in the lack of support for PPC linux users, or is there something I'm not aware of?

I had a problem (non-PPC) with dependencies whacking out and went on IRC (#ubuntu) to get some answers. The view from the experts there is to avoid marillat in all cases. In general, the view is to use Ubuntu apt-get sources only. You may not be missing anything.
