--------------

This repository contains builds of the latest Debian stable (bookworm) linux
kernel for ppc64 with modifications necessary to support KVM-PR (KVM for older
PowerPC CPUs without virtualization extensions).

Debian dropped KVM-PR from the default ppc64 build starting with Linux version
6.0, and this restores KVM-PR in the kernel of the latest stable distribution
(bookworm).
It changes the kernel configuration in ways that may not be optimal for all use
cases in order to support KVM-PR, so if you have no use for KVM-PR then you may
be better off with the regular kernel config..

To use it you have to add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/catacombae.gpg] https://sourceforge.net/projects/powerpc-linux-builds/files/debian-ppc64/linux-kvmpr/ main main

Then import my GPG key from the keyserver (if this is not done already):

curl 'https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xcb49184eb54709054a6e4a152adec8bddf66c3ef' | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/catacombae.gpg

Then you're all set, you can install any of the kernels in this folder, e.g.
'apt update' followed by 'apt install linux-image-6.1.0-15-powerpc64'.
