Updated base.cow
Hi,
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/stats/graph-big.png
is sort of impressive (the upwards trend I started
in Q3/2010, and the bumps near 2011.0 and recent).
The userdirs http://people.debian.org/~tg/f/m68k/
and https://www.freewrt.org/~tg/ both contain a
new base.cow tarball – gzip’d this time, but you
can see the size differences – I *am* tempted to
go search my slink CDs and build xzdec statically
linked on that just so that I can use xz again.
(Use the mirror that’s faster for you – people.d.o
seems limited to just below 100 KiB/s in Europe,
whereas frozenfish has a pretty decent hoster.)
I omitted debconf-i18n, atari-bootstrap and both
atari- and mac-fdisk from the chroot, and replaced
sysv-rc + insserv by file-rc (who needs those in
a buildd chroot anyway?) and, as usual, configured
it a little. Simply cowbuilder --update should be
enough to get it going, and it conforms to “the
Debian way” just fine. It should also be usable
as a regular chroot for e.g. our Gentoo friends
for toying with (both it and Debian).
And yes, I’m still planning to make a new ARAnyM
base image. I’ve built almost all important and
standard packages now (waiting for some uploads,
most specifically cyrus-sasl2 and python2.7):
https://www.freewrt.org/~tg/debs68k/debidx.htm
(There’s also an amd64 → m68k cross toolchain
using the exact same sources as my native builds;
can be used to test stuff quickly but I always
only dput natively-built packages, with the one
exception having been the intermediate kernel
images that are fully gone and replaced now.)
bye,

does Tom get pain in the arse when Harry is near him?
