You need to wait a little bit. I need to build the disk running my Squeeze builder environment into my desktop. I just bought a new G4 MDD. I will continue MintPPC on this machine

Just wondering- Which PPC machines do you own and develop on? Also, with a G4 in the fleet, are you looking to AltiVec Optimize some things?

No I am not going to do Altivec Optimization.

IW6 is being built now...Tomorrow we will know if it was successful.

Edit: weird enough, the mozilla.debian.net Iceweasel source did not build...I had to change the source myself. Now it's building...

The build was finished successfully this morning. I will do some testing with IW6 this weekend. If all is well, I will upload the packages to the MintPPC server.

6.0.2-1 will be coming soon. An upstream version from Mozilla made it through the backport channel. This version includes safety measures against the recent Diginotar gate.
I will try to have it in the repository tomorrow.

Edit: My G4 is building IW 6.0.2

Just did a fresh reinstall of MintPPC 9.3 (heh... don't ask why)........ and it installed Iceweasel 6.0.2 automatically. Flawless!
Thanks!
