cpio and pax are listed as installed. So is pmake. mksh abd makefs do not list on the status page (http://www.debian-ports.org/~smarenka/m68kbugs/reports/status.html) at all. > ① Why are these failing to build? mksh is a puzzler (both dependencies are listed OK so the database should have changed the state to needs-build) - makefs build-depends on debhelper (looking at wanna-build) but debhelper is not listed. Neither is it installed on kullervo or crest. Since it is arch-all, I'll try to get makefs unstuck using pretend-avail ... but maybe debhelper got uninstallable in the meantime? I'll check that... > ② Does it make sense for me to upload m68k binary packages? > (I’ve seen that Aranym-built packages seem to be acceptable, > although I currently don’t have cowbuilder set up in it but > merely build “normally”.)

I think those of us that still reacted seemed to agree that upload rights for m68k on debian-ports.org should no longer be restricted to developers. In order to get you upload rights, we may need to make sure your key is known to mini-dak on ports.debian.org. I'll ask Aurel about that. > I tried IRC, but it’s been more dead than before, or so I think. > (But then, from the list archives, the mailing list seems so, too.) Not quite dead, but certainly extremely low volume. Michael
