    Checking http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports/ now...

    No, it's still there.

    And if not, what happened to yttrium?

    No idea, I'm not involved in Debian Ports hardware.

    Also some good news for your choice of Linux distributions for ia64:

    In the meantime, ia64 is not only still available in Debian Ports ([5])
    and Gentoo ([6]), but we now also got another distribution - T2/Linux
    ([6]) - that supports it.

    Take care,

    Cheers,

    yttrium has been decommissioned, the rest of the ia64 Debian port will
    follow suit at the convenience of the Debian Ports FTP team, most likely
    when either glibc 2.39 or kernel 6.7 are uploaded to unstable.

    There's no way to keep a sort of "stable" release in Ports, right?

    How much work will it be to later reinstate it (i.e. the ia64 port)?

    Cheers,
    Frank
