Re: [PATCH] PPC is strange. RHEL provides a 'ppc' tree that is intended only for ppc64 systems (typically IBM PowerPC). Fedora provides a 'ppc' tree that includes ppc32 and ppc64 kernels. Fedora also builds a 'ppc64' tree which contains *only* ppc64

I don't believe it is related to your problem, but rawhide could
produce problems. There are two sets of files matching *release-*, and
in any case you probably need to add something to codes.py.

I cannot do anything with RedHat, but I will try the fedora9/rawhide.
It looks that there is something now working well in the import code,
and I wanted to check a debian powerpc import in any case.
