I seem to recall that there was a machine offered that ran
stable for people to compile on. If that is the case (and I'm not
merely hallucinating), I offer to compile the latest make for
libc5. I intend to use debian revisions 0.[89]X for libc5 compiled
unstable packages, so that dpkg would upgrade to hamm when the time
comes.
We need to decide on the section keyword, and decide whether
this unstable-for-libc5 section would have subdirectories
(main/binary-i386/admin ....), and would it have contrib, non-free,
and non-us categories as well?
