cpio and pax are listed as installed. So is pmake. mksh abd makefs do not list
on the status page
(http://www.debian-ports.org/~smarenka/m68kbugs/reports/status.html) at all.
> ① Why are these failing to build?
mksh is a puzzler (both dependencies are listed OK so the database should have
changed the state to needs-build) - makefs build-depends on debhelper (looking
at wanna-build) but debhelper is not listed. Neither is it installed on
kullervo or crest. Since it is arch-all, I'll try to get makefs unstuck using
pretend-avail ... but maybe debhelper got uninstallable in the meantime? I'll
check that...

I think those of us that still reacted seemed to agree that upload rights for
m68k on debian-ports.org should no longer be restricted to developers. In order
to get you upload rights, we may need to make sure your key is known to mini-dak
on ports.debian.org. I'll ask Aurel about that.

Not quite dead, but certainly extremely low volume.
