Re: Bug#580455: (with patch) Who's minding the store at yaboot?
The package page for Yaboot at http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/
yaboot lists Aurélien GÉRÔME and Sven Luther as the maintainers.
Sven has been unable to participate for some years now, and the last
time I saw Aurélien's name on a from line was almost a year ago, and
nothing for a couple of years before that.
Bug#580455 will soon make Squeeze un-installable on PowerMac hardware
due to the need to switch to UUID's for identifying the boot and root
partitions in response to udev having rendered the conventional device
names non-deterministic.
I've provided a patch (to ybin) that fixes the problem, but there
doesn't seem to be anybody interested in testing it on non-PowerMac
hardware, or geting it into the released code.
I'm not a DD or a DM (and don't want to be one -- I haven't the time
or expertise) so there's a need for somebody to take over...
