    I'm pleased to report that a build of TeX Live 2023 on Debian 12 68K
    (QEMU 7.0.0 emulation thereof) succeeded here last week, and binaries
    are available at links from

    https://www.math.utah.edu/pub/texlive-utah/

    The TeX Live source tree has had further updates since that build, but
    I expect that another build from the latest source tree will be
    similarly successful, as it has for most systems this year.

    That is really awesome news. I'm really glad to hear that the 68k port is stable enough to provide the basis for building the current version of
    the TeX Live distribution.

    I will spread the news!

    Thanks,
    Adrian
