[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana or OpenSolaris version with PowerPC support?

[Jerry Kemp]

This is the last copy I downloaded of the PPC source code

542 % ls -l sunlabs-osppc-src-20061002.tar

sunlabs-osppc-src-20061002.tar
543 %

I believe that this was the last publically available source download, but if 
anyone can confirm or deny, it is appreciated.

Jerry
