--- Begin Message ---Package: wnpp I'm hereby orphaning colo, the 2nd stage boot loader for MIPS based Cobalt machines. Upstream is not really active anymore but responds to email. There's one major bug that's outstanding: networking doesn't work properly when CoLo is compiled with modern versions of GCC. Upstream tried to track this down but couldn't find a proper solution. CoLo is used in Debian to load the kernel/ramdisk (which the original Cobalt boot loader cannot load because of size restrictions). Description: boot loader for MIPS based Cobalt machines CoLo is a replacement boot loader for MIPS based Cobalt machines such as the Qube, RaQ, Qube2 and RaQ2. CoLo has less restrictions than the boot loader which comes in the firmware of Cobalt machines. It can boot from any primary partition containing an ext2/3 file system, supports booting via the network using TFTP and NFS, features a boot menu, allows passing boot parameters to the kernel, and offers support for initial ramdisks (initrd). The maximum size of kernels that can be booted is only constrained by available memory. . CoLo is typically used in chain mode. That is, the Cobalt firmware is used to load CoLo from the first primary partition (ext2 revision 0), and it is then used to load the actual Linux kernel. However, tools are also supplied in this package to overwrite the firmware with CoLo. This package also contains several other useful tools for Cobalt microservers, such as a program to output information on a Cobalt's LCD and an admin menu which allows to reboot and halt the machine through the LCD and buttons located on the panel of a Cobalt machine. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: colo | 1.22-1 | source, mipsel colo-udeb | 1.22-1 | mipsel ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoM; orhpaned and unmaintained upstream ---------------------------------------------- Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug. The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next dinstall run at the earliest. Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is really needed, please contact them if this should be the case. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/605412 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
