RE: Updated installation images for Debian Ports 2019-11-22

Are the build servers for Alpha public facing?   I plan to test install on
Alpha in a few day and having access to the code and environment could prove
useful.

I downloaded the Debian source for "guile-2.0_2.0.13+1-5.3" and successfully
built the binary packages on my PWS-433au without having to modify anything.
My guess is some kind of toolchain or other build environment issue on
the "buildd" servers.

Michael -- I've got the following ".deb" packages available, and you're
welcome to them if they would be of any help getting us unstuck:

	guile-2.0_2.0.13+1-5.3_alpha.deb
	guile-2.0-libs_2.0.13+1-5.3_alpha.deb
	guile-2.0-dev_2.0.13+1-5.3_alpha.deb
	guile-2.0-libs-dbgsym_2.0.13+1-5.3_alpha.deb
	guile-2.0-doc_2.0.13+1-5.3_all.deb

Just need a place to upload them where you can get to them, or I could
send them as e-mail attachments if all else fails: the "libs" package is
the largest at 2,262,128 bytes.

I'll get started on trying to build "guile-2.2" later today.
