Re: updates to debian and gnu archives

[Grant Bowman <grantbow@grantbow.com>]

Hi Bob and Ciaran,

I know the processes for the Debian archive and alpha.gnu.org are
different.

Jeff's autobuilder machine was "appropriated" by his work for awhile.  I
think it will be coming back online again soon.  

Jeff, I think you are not using turtle anymore, right?  Is this a
Debian GNU/Linux machine that cross compiles and runs fakeroot?

Cheers,
