17 Well, the current plan is to get everything thats currently {~}ppc-
18 macos in the main tree, into the prefix tree. So I would much prefer
19 if you didn't spend any effort on keywording more packages just yet.
20 The prefix installer pkg in my homedir has some bugs, but its pretty
21 easy to get setup, and I'm working on a new one that should be even
22 easier, however that won't be ready for at least a week or 2.

24 If you can catch me on IRC I can help you get setup rather
25 quickly...and we could definitely use the help (a doc? =)
