Hi, right now bootsplash is masked stable on ppc, but it doesn't work. Is it possible to get this thing working for the next release? Should bootsplash be masked -ppc for now?

Same thing for livecd-tools. This ebuild lacks RDEPENDS on hwdata and the knoppix utils, for which ppc patches exist but are not yet in the (currently ppc stable) ebuild. Do we need autodetection on the ppc livecds? Doesn't the 2.6 kernel module autoloader loads in modules automatically when required? The only autodetection I guess would be nice is whether or not an airport or eth0 is available and start dhcpcd when needed. Should livecd-tools be masked -ppc for now?
