    Voila le message en english:


    The Porting Team is proud to announce to the Ubuntu world the release of Breezy
    Badger for three shiny new architectures.

    The addition of IA64, HPPA (1.1 and later) and SPARC (UltraSPARC only) will make
    Ubuntu available to communities sometimes neglected by other distributions.

    About Ports
    - -----------

    The Porting Team was born about a year ago, and it's made up only by volunteers,
    motivated by love for Ubuntu and uncommon hardware. Hence the criteria for
    ports architectures is more about what those individuals decide than any
    rational decision making process.
    None of these new architectures are officially supported by the Ubuntu team.
    If we can get a large enough user base, we may be able to change that.

    While the ports share the same amazing set of software as the official Ubuntu
    distribution, their feature set is not as complete yet. In fact, you're much
    more likely to see some rough edges as you use the ports.

    How to get Ports
