-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I'm interested in actually contributing to d-i (finally), and I noticed that you've put out a request for the PowerPC architecture. As I only have a single StarMax 3000/160 I probably can't help with the entire arch, but I can help with Old World Mac (and clones, obviously, since the StarMax is a Motorola mac clone from the period when apple gave there blessing to such endeavours). I have a fair level of script and C knowledge, but no experience with kernel, or deb/udeb packaging. I have been working on boot disks for i386 (from scratch, and I don't mean cookbook LFS-type from scratch), so I have a fairly good understanding of the linux boot process (though I still have to learn mac-specific parts). (In fact I am trying to solve a d-i problem for getting floppies with 2.6 kernels, within the d-i way; so far I've gotten it to work non-d-i by using the ramdisk_xx kernel parameters, but I haven't yet managed to get a small enough initramfs). I would be best able to help with a more experienced mentor, and probably my initial role would be (on Old World PPC Macs & Clones) to test the installer regularly (weekly, semiweekly, daily?), tracking installation reports, and reproducing, tracing, and (where knowledge allows) resolving bugs. I probably am not in a position to do the daily builds, since the machine I would be testing the installer on is the only PPC I've got. If you think I could be of assistance, please let me know. I am subscribed to the list, but a CC wouldn't hurt. - -- And that's my crabbing done for the day. Got it out of the way early, now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEWStuhvWBpdQuHxwRAm0NAJ9jlC6wmRhg3bHx3S5iAUs/UDiQuQCgu1Sw kILftevFmBzZY8vYaG/Rjs0= =DAHA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
