There is no major problems, hopefully. :) Last time I check (and I rechecked today at FOSDEM), the package[1] is not in sync with upstream[2], has binaries without manpages, and a huge monolithic diff without broken-out patches.

OK, you made my point for ps3-kboot, I think it could be better done though, but I do not intend to bash Ubuntu in any way. I just have the Debian standards which have been pushed on me through the NM process. :) On a side note, but someway powerpc-related, perhaps you can tell me why you keep a broken device-tree-compiler with wrong versioning in Ubuntu (your 0.1-1 version is actually an old git checkout), while I have an up-to-date package in Debian. I am no Ubuntu core-dev, so I am not allowed to sync it... Cheers, -- .''`. Aurélien GÉRÔME : :' : `. `'` Debian Maintainer `- Unix Sys & Net Admin
