I’ve updated my repository for Ubuntu PowerPC. Its located here. It contains cutting edge versions of Compiz Fusion and Awn.
1) Adding the repository
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line for Feisty:
deb http://repository.theesylum.com feisty eyecandy
For Gutsy:
# Compiz Fusion
deb http://repository.theesylum.com gutsy compiz-fusion
# Awn and other eyecandy goodness
deb http://repository.theesylum.com gutsy eyecandy
Update your list of packages with
sudo apt-get update
2) Removing the old packages (Gutsy only)
If you’re on Gutsy then run this command first to get rid of the official packages:
echo "aptitude -y remove" `sudo dpkg -l | egrep '(beryl|emerald|compiz)'| awk '{print $2}'` | sudo bash
3) Installing Compiz Fusion
To install Compiz:
sudo apt-get install compiz # compiz-gnome AND/OR compiz-kde
To install CompizConfig configurator:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager # libcompizconfig-backends-* ?!
To install all of the assorted plugins:
sudo apt-get install compiz-fusion-*
4) Running Compiz Fusion
Eventually I’d like to package fusion-icon. Fusion-icon is a starter script that will pass different options to compiz depending on your configuration. Until I do so, you can simply start compiz with the following:
compiz --replace
5) Installing Awn
Run the following:
sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator
I’m going to also add a package for awn-extras soon.

Thanks for hosting these packages! Sometimes I feel like us PowerPC users get forgotten…
Would it be possible for you to add the awn-extras package to your repository?

It possible to easily build your own packages now, but if there’s enough of a request then yes.

I was getting pretty edgy reading this. If I say I’m disagreeing with your post I would say nothing. Reading this is meaningless waste of time.

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
avant-window-navigator: Depends: libawn0 (>= 0.2.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
shikamaru@shikamaru-desktop:~$
