This has now been one month, and nobody volunteered to help. Therefore it's time to drop the "mips" architecture. From what I understood the first step of the removal is to get rid of it in testing. Could you please take care of that? Once it's done, I'll forward the request to ftpmasters. Thanks, Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
