update on 2.1r5 status...



Thanks to Christian's compile effort on alpha and sparc, the list of
missing packages to recompile has reduced a lot:

# grep SPARC 2.1r5.txt.1 | wc -l
      6
# grep M68K 2.1r5.txt.1 | wc -l
     11
# grep ALPHA 2.1r5.txt.1 | wc -l
      5

Are there still compiles pending, or can I release 2.1r5 asis?

The complete list is attached, as well as the release notes. The master
version is available at http://www.debian.org/~vincent/2.1r5.txt

	Cordialement,
