Waiting for a maintainer. I don't have a sparc and because it makes no
sense to build the driver on any of the machines I own, it hasn't been
built. I'm actually surprised that this is the first time anyone has asked
after it. The package is sitting in svn, you should be able to pull it by
using the following command:
svn checkout svn://necrotic.deadbeast.net/xorg-x11/trunk/driver/xf86-video-sunffb-X11R7.0-1.0.1.3/
I can't guarantee it builds properly, but feel free to go for it. On that
note, if you or someone else is interested in maintaing it for Debian, I'd
be happy to facilitate the effort.
