Bug Description

Tribe cds are not being made for powerpc. I would expect them to be available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/

There are daily cds at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily-live/current/ and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily/current/ but it limits ones testing if only images of the last 3 days are avaliable.

no only the past three days of dailys are available. Tribe 4 has already dropped off.

for example I would like to discover when gutsy stopped booting on my machine Bug #124369 , but i can not test old tribe cds. the best i can know is that it has be broken for more than three days.

In general, we have not been making ports CDs available as alpha releases because we don't currently get enough feedback from porters to be able to verify that they are usable as alphas. This needs to be coordinated between the ISO testing folks and the porters before this becomes practical.

Otherwise, the daily CDs are the best bet - when these are in fact available, which as noted they aren't currently for intrepid due to build problems.
