Package: installation-guide
Severity: normal
Version: 20131009

Dear Installation-guide maintainers,

I and a collegue currently work on getting the hppa architecture in a good shape again in debian.
We have done great progress, which means that more than 80% of debian unstable packages are now available
up-to-date for hppa. That's even more than what other architectures like mk68k, sh4 or sparc. 
You can see our progress in this graph: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/stats/
hppa is the magenta line.
We currently have 7 hppa-buildd-servers running (on 4 physical machines) as you can see here:
http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hppa.html

Next step for me was to try to create a installation-cd.
For that I used debian-cd, but failed because the package "installation-guide-hppa" is missing in the
repositories. You can see the error message of debian-cd below.

So, can you please reactive the build for the hppa architecture so that I can proceed with an installation image?
It seems it is sufficient to
- uncomment "hppa" in the debian/archlist file, and
- uncomment the " installation-guide-hppa" section in the debian/control file.

It would be really great if you can reactivate it soon.
Of course I will send further patches to the installation-guide package as needed.

THANKS !!
Helge


BTW, here is the error I get when using debian-cd to create a installation image:

More than 4 years later it's time to close this bug then.
