However we should rebuild all packages when libc6 will be available.
I prefer you don't upload packages that already moved to libc6. We should
keep package version in sync with other architectures, so if a package is
already built with libc6 on an other architecture, it should keep the same
release number in our Debian/SPARC port.
Keep them on an alternate ftp site if you want to distribute them.

You should'nt look into 1.2 nor 1.3 release but in the development tree (aka.
hamm) to find real Debian/SPARC packages.
About dpkg-dev, it is architecture independent and is available in
hamm/hamm/binary-*/utils/...
gcc, libc5-dev & binutils are also available at standard place.
You can find a more up-to-date gcc package at ftp://test.dei.unipd.it:/pub/debian.
This site contains also a gdb package for Debian/SPARC.
As far as I know, nobody works on libg++ (I use the one from RedHat), so you
can do it yourself.
By the way, any help is welcome :-))
Bye.
