About par for the task. The dependency list perhaps needs to be changed
for sid. OTOH, with the new installer just beyond the horizon it's perhaps
not worth fixing...
Re: powerpc boot-floppies: the powermac HFS floppy image is hosed
(hfsutils permission trouble of the silly sort). I can't
build a new set since the cryptic chroot /dev/zero permission problems
are back now. If someone else could just take my release files and dump
them into the CVS source tree and rerun ./release.sh powerpc woody 3.0.24
we'd be all set.
