[please keep the bug in Cc:, I’m not subscribed to the list]<br><br>Dear PowerPC porters,<br><br>As a co-maintainer of atlas, I intend to force a specific PowerPC CPU<br>architecture when the package is built on buildds (in order to fix<br>#680096).<br><br>Atlas gives me the following options: POWER3, POWER4, POWER5, POWER6,<br>POWER7, PPCG4, PPCG5.<br><br>I would like to know which one of these is the most generic<br>architecture, so that the atlas package thus modified will work on all<br>supported machines. I guess this is either POWER3 or PPCG4, but it is<br>unclear to me which one is more generic. Or maybe none of the two<br>encompasses the other, in which case I would like to know which one<br>would be the best choice from your point of view.<br><br>BTW, if you could answer the same question concerning the ppc64 and<br>powerpcspe ports, that would be great.<br><br>Thanks a lot,<br><br>-- <br>Sébastien Villemot<br>Researcher in Economics &
