Debian/PPC (was: Re: console-apt)
Judging by the number of deb packages that compile fine but are out-of-date
in the PPC tree, is more CPU horsepower needed to auto-build?
I don't know what the protocol for this is, but I would be more than willing
to run a debian-compiler instead of looking for an RC5 client. I haven't
done much with debian packagin before (LinuxPPC is redhat-based), but now
that I've jumped ship... apt-get source -b package is pretty slick.

PowerPC is now completely broken, as the old binutils won't accept the
target requested by gcc 2.95.1.

In a similar thread, xemacs forgot to create a symlink (/usr/share/xemacs, I
think?). I'll submit it officially now that I finally have talked exim into
doing the From:-field mucking that I had sendmail doing in my old redhat
box...

Just installed Debian/PPC about a week ago - overall impression, pretty
good, 'cept for the install from hell - in which I accidentally rm'ed a fair
chunk of /home. Ah well, still easier than NetBSD onto my old SE/30...
