I talked with upstream again. Patch will stay for 2.0, but in 2.1alpha he adds code against that/that breaks with it. Something like this. Then its deleted. (Dont ask me about license that part will get.) Then linux sparc could stay with last major release of mkisofs or adjust silo. (His words). > The patch hurts nothing and breaks nothing, but provides a need part > of the sparc port. Then it hurts/breaks. But someone could then built mkisofs-sparc packages if one wants (old major release) or do something completly different. Debian Package should stay as close as possible to "official" version, so it wont have it too. (I dont want to lose Upstream support for every Debian User just because of a patch wich is not necessary if the real buggy thing is fixed.) Ah, and it still applies, dont NMU one of my packages without following the normal procedure for an NMU. :) BTW: I announced at 21 Nov 2002 that this patch is near his dead. Noone cared about so It doesnt look very important to me if there is no response from anyone. BTW2: I dont want to flame anyone anywhere, just in case someone thinks that. -- bye Joerg A.D. 1492: Christopher Columbus arrives in what he believes to be India, but which RMS informs him is actually GNU/India.
