Package: installation-guide Version: 20170211 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-CC: debian-mips@lists.debian.org Hi, I've done a bit of cleaning up on the MIPS related part of the installation guide. Mostly I have removed some old platforms which will no longer be supported in Stretch and rewritten the supported platforms section. I'm not entirely sure if I've done the right thing WRT translations. At the moment I've just left them, but maybe I should remove the relevant files there too? If you don't like attachments, I can resend the patches in another form (I currently have things in git) Thanks, James
