Slackware64-Current
MPC7500:
Funny, a month ago I asked Eric Hameleers if there is a possibility to port Slackware to PPC64le.
He said, I should ask Patrick Volkerding.
Sadly, he didn't response. Why not ask the Slackware people for hosting the packages?
Great work, BTW :)

I got my Blackbird about a month ago and began working on the build.
I posted a couple updates on the Linuxquestions thread where people asked about a Power9 port.
I might try talking to Patrick Volkerding about mirroring them.
Once I get something that can actually install.
Right now I have a script that does a for loop through the directories and installs them in a folder for testing.
I extracted the Debian Grub packages and manually installed them on my Blackbird and it looks like it picks up the Slackware install just from running a grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
So I should be able to get that going enough to make a Slackware installer initrd.

Hello, just registered to say a huge THANK YOU for porting Slackware - my preferred distro on x86 since some 2003/2004. My Blackbird is stuck three weeks on US customs, but just two days ago I was talking to some other czech Slackware users how to start on porting to POWER9 right after it arrives. Now I don't have to, someone else did it :)
But I can at least offer space for a mirror. I can spare 50-60GB on http://vivapowerpc.eu/software/ with SSH/SCP upload, if you need. Server is located in OVH datacentres in France and is (of course) powered by Slackware.

I actually just got a VPS that I was working on.
I moved my blog site I made to it, though there's not much on it at the moment.
Was working on getting Mirror Brain configured to upload the packages to.
Once I get it setup the blog site will be at https://www.riscyslack.org and mirror will be https://mirror.riscyslack.org
That's the plan at least.
