binary-mips

[Thomas Berg <dolf@astrakan.hig.se>]

Hello 

For last couple of days i have been busy trying to put together a base
mips distribution, modeled after the mipsel base dist which was made
available recently. 

The packages were compiled natively on mips (hard hat 5.1).

I have completed the following packages:
-------------------------------------------------
adduser_3.11.1_all.deb
base-files_2.1.10_all.deb
base-passwd_2.0.3.5_mips.deb

sysklogd_1.3-33_mips.deb
sysvinit_2.77-3_mips.deb
tar_1.13.11-2_mips.deb
tcpd_7.6-1.1_mips.deb
textutils_2.0-2_mips.deb
update_2.11-1_mips.deb
util-linux_2.9x-1_mips.deb        
-------------------------------------------------

Please note that the above listed debs are not tested/verified for
correctness in any way. (dpkg would be the only exception, since it was
put to use in the process of creating all the other packages)

Only 2? *very* important packages are missing right now for creating a
minimal base dist, they are glibc and the ncurses library.

I will try to build the missing packages next week or maybe someone on
this list could give it a try. Basing glibc on Florian's work would
probably be the best way to get a working glibc package.

I have uploaded dpkg(dpkg_1.4.1.19_mips.deb,
dpkg_1.4.1.19_mips.nondebbin.tar.gz) 
and debhelper to ftp.rfc822.org and maybe Florian can make them available
for download. I'll try to make the other packages available tomorrow
(Saturday).
