gnome .debs
(for the purposes of this email, consider my sig my resume). i am an admin at a local high school. our shell server is a p233 with 128m ram and 12gb disk. it will soon be upgraded to 256mb, and sooner or later, a second processor. it sits on a t1, with incoming ftp supposed to be unfirewalled awhile ago (i can get around it, if necessary). the machie is idle 23 hours a day. i have never used cvs-buildpackage, but would be willing to generate nightly .debs. what do people think of this? # Justin Maurer GNOME Hacker # [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Developer # http://slashdot.org/ Slashdot Author # 09 84 FC 03 13 AA 4A AF F6 A4 85 9D 8C 96 B6 A4
Re: what's after slink
ah, but imdb is missing one important character (at least!). rc! the radio control car! i say "rc" should be 2.2, as i have before. ---- # Justin Maurer GNOME Hacker # [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian Developer # http://slashdot.org/ Slashdot Author # 09 84 FC 03 13 AA 4A AF F6 A4 85 9D 8C 96 B6 A4

[ITP/mostly packaged] hftpd
oh, i probably should've mentioned this earlier, but i've been packaging hftpd. i'm mostly done, but need to hack in an /etc/init.d script, and i think i'll be done after that. hftpd is a superb, linux-optimized ftpd. i am going to have a little bit in the postinst that makes note that people really should roll their own, since it can use a lot of 2.2 kernel features and such. it was written by zach brown, one of the puffins (http://www.thepuffingroup.com/). the page is http://www.zabbo.net/hftpd/ -- Justin Maurer[EMAIL PROTECTED] IFT Systems, Inc.

Re: intent to package pa-risc stuff
>> (me saying a bootable kernel is still quite aways off) > I wonder if this ITP is a little bit early then... well, sort of. i can still package the cross compilers and such, so that we will all be ready for it. but the new arch obviously is still another relase or two away. i have binutils packaged, and i haven't worked on it in awhile, but i think egcs is mostly done, too... > > anyway, since for now they will be x-compilers, where should the bins be > > placed? should egcs be /usr/bin/egcs-parisc? /usr/parisc/egcs? > > We will have to create binary-parisc or similar. well, for the cross compilers, i'm doing /usr/lib/parisc-xxx e.g, /usr/bin/parisc-egcs /usr/bin/parisc-as etc. > As the beginning, where no port exists, a directory within > experimental looks proper to me. agreed. > Justin, can you find out if those machines are binary compatible. > I've heard that there are two general types flying around (5i and > 3i, iirc). I wonder if one new architecture is enough or if we > need both - like for mips. which two machines? the ones the puffins are working on? they are working on the a180c (a-class). it is only a 32-bit machine, however. i think it is compatible with all the 64-bit machines, and can confirm this if you'd like and provide me with more info. -- Justin Maurer[EMAIL PROTECTED] IFT Systems, Inc.http://linux.hypnotic.org 6717 N.31st Street Tel: +1 (703) 237-5511 Arlington, Virginia, 22213 USA acf on LinuxNet
Re: new arch required
> If you have a compiler packaged, somebody else is working on kernels, i am not sure when the kernel changes will be merged into the linus kernels. > I'm trying to aquire some machines as well, I wonder if it would be > time to start debian-hppa as porters mailing list with a roughly > periodical status report. well, it looks as though ift won't be getting one for awhile, since right now hp/tpg is only giving them to kernel hackers. the good news is that one of our employees has expressed some desire to do this, so after he is done with a bunch of tests at school this week, he will probably try to get hacking. my kernel experience is only backporting my sound driver from 2.2 to 2.0 :( would you like me to start a list on the ift server? i expect it will be extremley low traffic until at least the kernel can run a shell. > However, the name has to be decided: hppa or parisc or whatever? > What do the puffins say? parisc. they are trying to kill hppa, and rightfully so. but it will probably still be around for quite awhile.. -- Justin Maurer[EMAIL PROTECTED] IFT Systems, Inc.http://linux.hypnotic.org 6717 N.31st Street Tel: +1 (703) 237-5511 Arlington, Virginia, 22213 USA acf on LinuxNet
