Future of s390 port

Due to lack of time I am not able to do the s390 porting work anymore. I am looking for someone who is interested to take over the s390 port. This includes the administration of the buildd servers, analyzing build failures and requalification of the s390 port for the etch release, see

at least 260 packages broken on arm, powerpc and s390 due to wrong assumption on char signedness

2001-12-27 Thread Gerhard Tonn
Hi, I had recently a runtime problem on s390 with a package that compiled fine. After a while I figured out that it was caused by the fact that the package owner assumes that a char is signed per default. This is _not_ true on arm powerpc s390 Since in some cases this wrong assumption results

2001-12-27 Thread Gerhard Tonn
A solution is to declare the datatype explicitly as signed char or compile using the option -fsigned-char. Compiling with -fsigned-char, though it works, is not the right solution. It's better to fix the bug in the code. I agree. As soon as a source is compiled with -fsigned-char and

Which packages are these? It's probably a bug in the package source, in that it's coded in such a way that bin-nmu's aren't possible. There're a bunch of packages like that. (ie, a Depends: otherpkg (= myver) line) In my case it's esound-common, which in turn makes the entire gnome tree not
