RE: Apt

[Richard <Rjp@logic.pl.net>]

ummm there is APT for Sparc??
It's experimental, but it works great for me.
It is a ready to go package in the apropriate experimental directory.
Sing out if you can't find it, and I will put it up for FTP.

Great! Let me know how X works out.

Not that I've tried apt, but most packages that don't exist are just in the
need of a compile. So please do try and complie apt. The usual way, if
patches are required, are to submit the patches to the bug report system and
upload the patched binaries with an NMU version number.
