Package: silo Version: 1.4.11-0.2 Severity: serious The silo bootloader package build-depends on gcc-2.95 at the version currently in unstable, making it the only package of any substance which does so. The gcc-2.95 package itself is RC-buggy, failing to build with the current version of make; since there has been no interest expressed in fixing this bug by the maintainer, the likely outcome is that gcc-2.95 will be dropped from etch, leaving sparc without a releasable bootloader. There are two possible solutions: - silo gets updated to use a more recent compiler, dropping this build-dep - someone adopts gcc-2.95, fixing the FTBFS, and maintaining it for etch X-Debbugs-Cc: to debian-sparc. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
