Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: debootloaders-miboot@lists.alioth.debian.org * Package name : miboot Version : 2.0 Upstream Author : Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> * URL : http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debootloaders/trunk/miboot/ Licence : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C / m68k Assembly Description : Linux bootloader for OldWorld PowerMac computers miBoot is not suitable for Debian in its upstream form, because it requires prioprietary software (Metrowerks Codewarrior 4.0 Pro on legacy MacOS) to build. Our goal is to provide a package buildable by the GNU toolchain (a m68k toolchain on a powerpc environment). We assembled a team for that. miBoot is not maintained upstream anymore, so we will takeover the maintainance. Our goal requires heavy modifications of upstream source code, hence the version bumping compared to the former upstream 1.0d4 located at <http://penguinppc.org/historical/benh/>. Cheers, -- .''`.
