Description David Williams CLA 2010-12-18 13:34:25 EST
I noticed there's still several PPC based VMs and libraries in /shared/common. 

I think this could be removed now. I'd say it pretty unlikely we'd move back to a PPC machine at this point (and if we did in future, should probably install "fresh" stuff. 

The only account for less than a gigabyte of disk space ... so, not that urgent ... but seems like noise, so thought I'd suggest they be removed.

Added Chris and Jacek as they are technically owners of a couple of them.
Comment 2 Jacek Pospychala CLA 2010-12-19 11:07:23 EST
yes, xulrunner-ppc can be safely removed. We're using x86_64 for ATF junit tests.
Comment 3 Jacek Pospychala CLA 2010-12-19 11:14:01 EST
fyi, I have removed it to my home dir and will delete in next week or two, unless someone else complains about them.
Comment 4 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2010-12-21 13:22:06 EST
I've 'cleaned' all of the PPC Java stuff.
