building d-i for sparc
After not doing anything on it for six weeks, I'm again trying to get
debian-installer working on sparc.
First iritation was needing to rebuild python2.3, as it's a dependancy
of a build-dendancy. (Apparently the sparc autobuilder is still
down.) That took 14 hours to compile. I also had to compile netfcg,
since the udebs are missing from the archives.
Good news: make image TYPE=cdrom now works.
Bad news: make image TYPE=netboot doesn't. Bug filed.
Unfortunatly, I can't seem to find anything resembling an iso image to
burn to see how far it would get. (The silo-installer udeb is still
needed to make it usable.)
Am I just overlooking something, or is this a symtom of d-i still
being broken on sparc?
