[Debian-ppc64-devel] ppc64 status?

[Tony Breeds]

Hi all,
	Sorry to ask such a newbie question, but I'm going to anyway.

Is the ppc64 port (http://debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/) the preferred
way to get 64-bit packages on powerpc?  I was under the impression that
the "powerpc" port was a combined architecture for both 32 and 64
powerpc machines.

I'm asking as I have a package that needs to be compiled slighly
differently for powerpc32 ans powerpc64.  I asked if the maintainer
would be willing to make a "package64" to accomodate this.  They instead
pointed me here.

Yours Tony
