Re: netbsd-i386 apt archive gone?
Hi.
I've been working on my Live (K)FreeBSD project and was attempting to package
the makefs program (http://www.daemonology.net/makefs/) for Debian. makefs
would allow userspace creation of rootfs/ramdisks from user space (so you
could use your site's existing Debian/Linux server to assemble the live
ISO/NFSroot from pure binaries).
For live CD/DVD, you can also take a look at
http://glibc-bsd.alioth.debian.org/ging/
It might be easier to just refresh some script in
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/web/ging/
One thing that would help is the purported-to-exist package of NetBSD's make
("netbsd-make" - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=194260),
which is a Build-Depend. It seems the apt archive holding that, and possibly
more of the old netbsd-i386 port, is gone: http://debian-bsd.lightbearer.com/
You can also try to install pmake or freebsd-buildutils package
and use pmake, resp. freebsd-make. Both packages are
available on all architectures.
