arm is NOT releasing for potato at this rate! (was: [adam@onshore.com: Re: 2.2.13 okay for first cycle? (was Re: Packages installed today)])



It seems there are still no boot-floppies for arm, and apparently
nobody is helping Adam either.. at this rate we simply won't release
arm for potato!

Wichert.

Excellent.

We hope and believe they are adequate for the first test cycle.  See
my email from before.

>Where's m68k 2.2.13? Or is 2.2.12 okay for m68k?

I believe m68k does need 2.2.13, but I'm not totally sure.  Hopefully
the m68k porter will have a version up soon.  Unfortunately, building
on m68k is a bit more of a manual process than on most other arches.

That's a good question.  I myself have pestered the arm list with
little to no results.  I believe that ARM is not yet release quality
-- maybe they can prove me wrong, I don't know.  I wish I could answer
this question but I don't have ARM, don't know anyone that has arm,
and can only testify on my experiences and my guesses.  No offense,
please.
