The m68k qalculate-gtk package was already in the archive at the time I wrote the above. Unfortunately, the bjorn.haxx.se scripts do seem to lag behind update_output/update_excuses somewhat, which themselves can lag up to 24 hours behind reality where the counting of RC bugs is concerned. I usually find Bjorn's scripts helpful for getting an overview of blockages, but drilling down with grep-excuses (for starters) is a must for confirming what areas need more work. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
