The common solution for this is to build in a unstable chroot. Should work modulo stable kernel/unstable userland incompatibilities. > 2.

AFAICS switching the hppa kernels to new-style -di packaging is a preliminary to do that. Thiemo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
