As far as I know, no one here objects to new packages for the architectures
we can't support ourselves. There have been RPMs of AbiWord (older versions,
like 0.7.5) on ftp.linuxppc.org before. As for the version numbers,
it would probably be least confusing to keep the same version ("0.7.6")
and add a new build number (our RPMs are usually "1").
We've contacted a few people at LinuxPPC (the .com side of the effort)
and the made it clear that they had a build host for us to use (formerly
crack.linuxppc.org), and we exchanged contact information and addresses,
but no box ever came of it. You might try contacting Jason Haas
(jhaas@linuxppc.com). We'd love to provide ready-built LinuxPPC packages.
