powerpc status and missing 2.6.7 .udebs and .debs in sarge.



Hello,

As of today, all installs of the 2.6 powerpc d-i fail.

  netboot with sid .udebs and .debs
  
    => broken due to ppp/libpcap0.8 mess.

  netboot with sarge .udebs and .debs

    => broken because even if we install with 2.6.7 kernel,
    there are no 2.6.7 module .udebs in sarge.

    Solution: please have the 2.6.7 module .udebs moved to sarge ASAP.
    This doesn't break anything, since they don't replace anything that
    was usefull for working in sarge.

In general, there seems to be a problem here, since using the sid .udebs
to build the netboot initrd, but then not being able to use the sid
.udebs of the archive together with the sarge .debs is a problem.

Also, i wonder why we don't move the sid .udebs to sarge, now that we
have decided to forget about the sarge .udebs and go with sid_d-i for
the next beta/tc/rc.

  netinst. This uses sid .udebs and sarge .deb.

    => broken because there are no 2.6 kernels .debs on the CD.

Mmm, i wonder, maybe the businesscard iso should be able to work, will
try it out.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
