This list is actually pretty dead. I'm not sure if you'll get much help
here. In any case, this list was about the kernel module only rather
than the hfsplus utililties like hpls and hpcopy. You might be better
off asking for help on one of the more generic lists.

https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

There are also distribution specific lists.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/
http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general

There will definitely be more people to help on any of these lists,
although I don't suggest copying them all. My suggestion is to try
the linuxppc-dev list first, and then try a list for the distribution
you are using if you don't get an answer.

Sorry I couldn't help more.
