Ok, i have checked in, but the powerpc-small build doesn't work yet. Can
you have a look at it or something ? Just enable powerpc-small in
config/powerpc.cfg.
Apparently the image is not fully build, but i don't really looked at
why, i will have a new look later on.
You also need to switch over to the new subversion repository. Not sure
you are able to do that, since anonymous access is down right now. If
you have ssh access to alioth (you should if you are member of the d-i
alioth project), you can :
svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk debian-installer
> miBoot and rsrce package:
> deb-src http://sprite.fr.eu.org/dist/debian
Still waiting on this one, it will probably not be ready for thursday,
so we can probably either use your unofficial repo for building the
miboot images, or use a local specialized build, until the miboot
situation is cleared, and integrate the changes in a later d-i beta or
something.
Same problem is present for apus.
In the meantime, powerpc, power3 and power4 are built for cdrom and
netboot, demo is broken though, and i still need to finalize the builtin
initrd thingy, which i will do today.
