Definitely yes. I would like a root partition image for compiling and creating some PPC64 SeaLion and BrassMonkey packages.

I just reinstalled Mirari, and install Voir, Fienix and MintPPC32-bit.
MintPPC is best for me.
I would ask about default sources.list:
There is /debian-ports/ sid - id it safe to upgrade to latest packages?
Because Sid is sometimes broken. I several times this way broke my X1000 Debian installation...
Or is best change sid to snapshot.debian.org for some tested date?
Thanks!

Upgrading is fine. Yhe only thing you need to pay attention to is xorg. If that gets updated, you have to do the trick to remove the libglamoregl.so:
Your sources.list looks good, don’t use snapshot.
Code: Select all
mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak

@MintPPC
Thank you! I will try it.
Mirari with MintPPC works very nice, I have dual monitor configuration. It can be easily configured with Display setup.

I will be away for some time. When I return I will make a root partition.

I saw you have a powerpc64 root partition now to build packages right? Debian sid ppc64 is basically the same as MintPPC64 for building.

Yes, that’s right. I don’t need a MintPPC64 root disk image anymore.mintppc wrote: Wed Jul 08, 2026 10:04 am I saw you have a powerpc64 root partition now to build packages right? Debian sid ppc64 is basically the same as MintPPC64 for building.
I can compile the Linux PPC64 version of SeaLion but unfortunately it doesn't start. I don’t see any error messages during the start of SeaLion.

I guess you miss some libraries which are used in SeaLion.

It’s not a Debian PPC64 specific issue. It doesn’t start on Fedora 28 PPC64 and on openSUSE Tumbleweed PPC64 either.
