I won't upload packages that are already on master (read: already in my mirror of hamm/main/binary-alpha). On the other hand, I'll also build packages only from sources mirrored from master. This keeps the distribution as a whole simpler, since there will only be one version of a package in hamm. > 1. tcl and tk packages must be built in a certain sequence (I don't > remember which), and the unpacked and built tree of the first package > must be available when the second package is being built. (I hope > your script can handle this.) It can't, yet. If and when source dependencies are implemented, it will be simple. Until then, I'll let such packages fail for my script (someone will build them by hand). > 2.

I'd say so, yes, especially if the bug report is worded as a question to the maintainer. > cannot be compiled by gcc on Alpha. Ah, yes. The output file contains this line: /usr/lib/g++-include/streambuf.h:170: Internal compiler error. Oh, well. If there were an egcs package for the Alpha, I could use that instead of the normal gcc package, right? -- Please read <http://www.iki.fi/liw/mail-to-lasu.html> before mailing me.
