If its any consolation, much the same thing had to be done to get it working on regular SPARC, a year ago. But at least all the development tools were pure Debian, so it was doable. The problem has always been that the dpkg tarball is maintainer-clean instead of merely distclean. The new code in CVS doesn't do this, but so far there's been no effort to switch to it, or to backport its innovations to the working dpkg. Perhaps you could run the build on intel up until just before it actually calls ./configure, tarball that and then continue on the UltraSPARC? --------------------- PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _ Debian GNU Johnie Ingram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __ "netgod" irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |> < Yes, I'm Linus, and I am your God. mm mm \____/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ -- Linus, keynote address, Expo 98 GO BLUE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
