Hi Thorsten, I indeed had a look. The problem of asking for help is that it reverses the roles. I am not the one who wants staden-io-lib be built on mips, sparc, where I think it is not useful, nor on hurd, where I think that working on such a package is totally prematurate given the state of that port. I think that te work has to be done by somebody running Debian on one of these architectures, and genuinely interested in using staden-io-lib there. Or, for me to volunteer to participate, I would like to receive at least one message from a biologist explaining why he needs the package to be built there. Otherwise, I think that it is better to simply solve the problem by removing the broken or unbuilt package from mips and sparc. I want my contributions to be useful in the daily life of people, and if possible, many of them. Of course, I will not stand on the way of people who want to do the porting work, but as I wrote at the beginning of my request for removal on mips and sparc, there has been 70 days without anybody volunteering. I hope that explains.
