No, silo 1.2.x is still in woody. The mkisofs and silo versions I'm now using are the woody ones, by dint of forcing things in the build script. My development machine (the one with the mirror attached) is running unstable, but the silo problem would have shown up there anyway - the script to make Sparc bootable CDs grabs the latest one directly out of the mirror. And can you please work out your differences with Joerg and/or the mkisofs maintainer so we can get these going again? >The images you produced are broken, I'm sure. My mistake on the silo >problem, but you could calm down a bit. Things happen. <sigh> Is there any easy way to check them? It would be nice not to have to start _again_. It's becoming impractical already to make CDs for woody due to the mixture of breakages and the sheer length of time taken to build them; I shudder to think what sarge is going to be like at this rate. For now I'm going to leave the sparc images as they are. If there's no way to test, then I'm going to wait until the boot-sparc script is known to work. I'll work on the easier architectures first. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. steve@einval.com You raise the blade, you make the change... You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane...
