I don't have any m68k machines.. I do have a Sparc, and I've happily
used the package (compiled to sparc target) to build kernels for my IPX.
Possibly I could scare up an m68k machine that could be used for testing.
Okay.. I appear to be almost through the new maintainer process. If I
don't hear from the current maintainer in ( > 'nm complete' '3 days' ),
or if he orphans the package at me, I'll fix what bugs I can and upload.
I won't make any big packaging changes until the cross-compile/FHS
thread is resolved, also..
