summary

Covers Void Linux's ongoing POWER/PowerPC work, with emphasis on their newly introduced experimental 32-bit little-endian POWER port (claimed to be the first such Linux distribution port). Also discusses repository additions (Chromium and Electron), faster POWER cryptography in LibreSSL, reworked crosstoolchains, support for newer AMD GPUs, attention to big-endian variants and the 64-bit ABI, and plans, goals, remaining issues and blockers for the distribution's future.
