Ah, thanks. Some of the manpages are (oddly) zero-length. I'll have
to write some when I get time, if there are not any elsewhere.
I'm attempting to start packaging the buildd autobuilder and
associated tools. However, some parts seem out of date and the
existing packaging was (IMHO) horrible--all the installation done
manually in debian/rules. I've autoconf/maked it, and rewritten the
packaging to use debhelper.
The package currently provides a crontab, which I install in
/etc/cron.d, which starts buildd-watcher every 15 minutes. Is this
against Debian-Policy--shouldn't it really be started only once, from
an init script?
Does anyone know if the CVS repository at
:pserver:anon@cvs.linux-m68k.org:/CVS mentioned at
http://buildd.debiab.org is in fact the definitive location for
buildd? I have so far not had any reply from either James Troup or
Roman Hodek.
Thanks for your help,
Roger
