Re: Bug#153948: Need help with afio on powerpc

[Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>]

Big thanks to everybody -- Stephen for writing patches, Dieter for calmly
knocking down back out of their socks, and to Koen for cleaning it all up.

According to http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=afio
we are starting to look more golden:

    * 2.4.7-7 (mipsel) (latest build at Aug 3 17:33: successful)
    * 2.4.7-7 (s390) (latest build at Aug 3 17:33: successful)
    * 2.4.7-7 (alpha) (latest build at Aug 3 17:36: successful)
    * 2.4.7-7 (hppa) (latest build at Aug 3 17:37: successful)
    * 2.4.7-7 (sparc) (latest build at Aug 3 17:40: successful)
    * 2.4.7-7 (arm) (latest build at Aug 3 17:47: successful)
    * 2.4.7-7 (powerpc) (latest build at Aug 3 20:46: successful)

In case you haven't been there -- that page ref'ed above contains links, and
you can see the glorious details for all these arches, including the (yay!)
successful creatin and verfication of an afio archive.

We still have to test support >2gb, but at least we have powerpc back in
under the 'large file' build-time flags.

Thanks, again.

Dirk
