Re: RM: aboot -- RoQA; Multiple RC bugs, can no longer be built due to missing alpha buildds

2020-01-29 Thread John Paul Adrian Glaubitz
Hi again!

One of the Gentoo developers has forked aboot and is maintaing it on
Github [1]. I have filed an issue regarding the manpage issue and will
coordinate a new release of the bootloader with the aforementioned
issues addressed.

I didn't know about these RC bugs otherwise I would have reacted
earlier.

Why was the debian-alpha mailing list not CC'ed so that people can look into 
the issue?

I'm pretty sure it's not impossible to get rid of the SGML dependency and 
bootloaders
can also be cross-built in Debian, we're doing that for palo as well.

I will look into this issue.

Thanks,
Adrian

Huh? That should be a Build-Dependency with [alpha] only anyway.

I will look at that in a minute, just need to reboot.
