Comme expliqué sur sourceforge , le projet open-source GNU-Darwin n'assurera plus le développement de darwin sur la plateforme powerpc, mais seulement sur x86....

Summary: FREE Darwin!
I'm getting ready to draft the yearly report, which is only a little
late ;-}. The Distribution has grown and progressed significantly, and
undergone many positive changes, thanks to the efforts talented
developers all over the world. Unfortunately, there are a couple of
things that haven't changed, and it is necessary for us to step up our
stridency and activism IMHO. I'm posting these concerns here first,
before the report gets written.
First, Apple continues the wall-of-silence with respect to their
repugnant DMCA-based legal action, and there is no reason whatsoever
for us to think that they will not undertake similar action in the
future. It is regrettable that the DMCA was Apple-sponsored
legislation, and it is now time for them to disavow it and promise never
to employ it.
Second, APSL is languishing, and it is unacceptable to the free
software community. It is now time for an APSL revision, which brings
the license in line with the free software definition in accordance
with the expectations of GNU Project.
In response to the inaction on these crucial items, we are taking two
actions.
First, we are making explicit and binding the following policy.
GNU-Darwin will not support or distribute any software which links to
proprietary libraries, and that includes Cocoa, Carbon, CoreAudio, etc.
There will be no native package manager from GNU-Darwin (pkg_add
suffices).
Second, we will be moving our operations to x86, and we are putting the
ppc collection into maintenance mode.
As always, please feel free to contact me about these issues as well as
any other concern.

C'est quand même dingue qu'un truc livré au départ par apple en open source finisse par ne même plus être supporté sur son matériel, ça me dépasse un peu c't'histoire....De plus, j'imagine que la part de darwin installé sur x86 est ultraminoritaire (voire insignifiante)
Est-ce que ça fait du tord à apple, ou est-ce que le projet gnu-darwin signe son arrêt de mort (je parle du point de vue de la diffusion de son travail, et donc, de son intérêt pratique) ?
Bof.....
