Operating Systems and Porting / Re: FreeBSD 16 plans to drop support for PPC64.
« Last post by MPC7500 on November 28, 2025, 05:23:02 pm »Well, RabtorCS offered to help. So it would be very surprising if they would drop ppc64le.

It would be a great disappointment if FreeBSD drop support for PPC64. I find FreeBSD extremely useful for hosting ZFS.
In that case, reply to the mailing list. If no one replies about using FreeBSD on POWER, the conclusion will be that it's unused code ready for removal.
FYI, I already replied. Note that you need to be subscribed to reply.
I am still trying to figure out how to get the mailto to respond to the message. If you happen to know how to do so for mlmmj-based mailing list, please point me to the right place. Many thanks in advance

Applications and Porting / Re: [DEV] LuaJIT PPC64 support
« Last post by pkubaj on November 19, 2025, 09:55:33 am »QuoteHi,
the latest available upstream version v2.1-20250826 has support for both ppc64
and ppc64el allowing luajit to be built successfully on both of these architectures.
Debian PowerPC Mailing List
That quote is really misleading, I thought for a moment that Mike Pall finally merged PPC64 support after like 10 years. But it's just openresty fork, it's had ppc64 and ppc64le support for quite some time already.
