Version 8.05 of Electric requires at least java 1.6, and as the latter isn't available for ppc yet I had to drop the ppc keyword. Now, Electric isn't such an essential application so I'm mainly filing this for future reference (i.e. whenever java 1.6 or later becomes available on ppc).

Do not hesitate to contact me in case you need any support about testing Electric on ppc (or any other arch) when you rekeyword it.

Denis.

I've tested it with IBM's 1.6 jdk for ppc and it works fine. When we mark the IBM jdk, I'll mark this as well.

Whoops, looks like nixnut already marked jdk-1.6 ~ppc, so this is now marked too.
