Hi Colin, Thank you for taking an interest in Mondo Rescue!
ia64 is architectually different from amd64 in many ways, so unfortunately it is not that straight forward. (I was given a used ia64 workstation by the upstream maintainer two years ago to enable me to help to get things working. Unfortunately, I have not had enough time to get this happening yet. :-( ) That said, the longer term goal is to support ia64, so I hope to eventually be able to close this wishlist bug. mindi-busybox is built for amd64: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mindi-busybox&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all I am going to be away until 11 May from tomorrow btw and may be somewhat unresponsive during this time. Best regards, Andree http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mindi-busybox&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=allhttp://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mindi-busybox&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=allhttp://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mindi-busybox&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=allhttp://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mindi-busybox&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all On Wed, 2009-04-22 at 11:36 +0100, Colin Watson wrote: > Package: buildd.debian.org > Severity: wishlist > User: [email protected] > Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch jaunty > > There seems no obvious reason why mindi and related packages aren't > built on ia64; and the fact that mindi and mondo are built on amd64 but > mindi-busybox isn't just seems odd.
