Have we asked the contributors and reviewers of HFS/HFS+? If you're willing to step up as a maintainer, I would be happy to assist yo= u by testing and reviewing patches. I have PowerMacs available for testing and i= t's also possible to just install Debian's 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC on an emul= ated PowerMac on QEMU using the "mac99" machine types to test booting from an HF= S/HFS+ partition [1]. I am Debian's primary maintainer of these PowerPC ports in Debian (not to b= e confused with the little-endian PowerPC port) and I can also easily build various te= st images if needed. Please let me know if you're interested in working together on the HFS/HFS+= driver. Adrian > [1] https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2025-04-01/ --=20 .''`.
