Bug#677760: O: mkvmlinuz -- create a kernel to boot a PowerPC machine from Open Firmware
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainers of mkvmlinuz, Sven Luther and Aur�en G�me
are apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: create a kernel to boot a PowerPC machine from Open Firmware
This little program takes a PowerPC Linux kernel as an uncompressed
ELF image file (usually called vmlinux or such) and adds boot code
and possibly a ramdisk to create a compressed kernel image that
can be booted directly from Open Firmware, thus eliminating the
need for a second-stage bootloader such as yaboot or quik. This is
especially useful on PowerPC sub-architectures which do not have a
bootloader at all, but may also come in handy for install kernels,
netboot systems, and the like.
