I saw that the m68k package went in this morning.  Thanks!  Now a 
question.  How did you upload the ported package?  I tried yesterday with 
a mips package but I have not received any confirmation of it being 
installed or rejected.

Here is what I did following directions from the documentation:

1. build on a mips machine using the -B option (I used pbuilder with a sid 
chroot)

2. sign the *.changes file

3. use dput to upload the *.changes and *.deb files to ftp-master

I am not so sure about step 3 because there is nothing explicit about 
where to upload ports in the documentation I found.  Does the ported 
binary need to be manually accepted?  I thought not because the source 
package is already in the archive?

Thanks,

Carlo
