CD images appearing (except sparc :-[ )
The i386 images are now available from cdimage.debian.org.
The alpha and m68k ones should build in the next hour (but if they
fail I won't be able to do much about it for about 20 hours). They
should probably not be considered ``official'' until signed MD5SUMS
appear, which should be some time tomorrow.
=-=-=<SPARC failure>=-=-=
The sparc ones cannot be built at present because lprng depends upon
a version of libncurses4 (>= 4.2-3.1) that only exists in potato.
This is pretty poor IMO. How difficult is it to check that a
package's dependencies are satisfied before moving it from
proposed-updates to stable? It's not as though it's not happened
before.
Is there any likelihood of this being sorted out this time (unlike
the 2.1_r2 --> 2.1_r3 version of this cockup which was never
resolved AFAIK)?
If this is fixed by someone, be sure to mail me direct so that I can
actually build the CDs. I will not be checking to see if it's been
fixed, so if you don't tell me, they won't get built.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
For those of you interested in building your own CDs, I'd like to
point out that for some reason slink_cd was not putting vflib2 on the
first CD. I'm not sure why this is, but I worked round it by adding
vflib2 to the ``useful'' file.
Cheers, Phil.
P.S. please only follow up to one list.
BTW I don't read debian-sparc, so Cc: me if that's the list you follow
up to, and you think I'll be interested.
