(Thanks for keeping me in Cc, forgot to mention that earlier.) Helge Deller dixit:
>Actually, parisc-linux.org is not a "third-party" side. From the Debian Developer’s PoV, it very much is an unknown, untrusted third-party site… although my public_html directory on freewrt.org is not much better admittedly ;-) >Dave and myself would like to upload our hppa packages to debian-ports, >but haven't received any answers from the administrator there yet... >(I assume it's Aurelinen?). Oh, okay? Yes, it’s Aurélien (aurel32 on IRC). You might need to prod him occasionally. Normally, upload rights for Debian Developers (with their keys in the keyring) and buildds (4096R keys with one year expiry) are easy, Debian Maintainers (with key in the old DM keyring) were also possible if a DD spoke out for them. No idea on non project members but I’ve seen it. >How can we get our packages to debian-ports? Basically by dput dpo foo.changes after debsigning the file. cat >>~/.dput.cf <<EOF [dpo] fqdn = ftp.debian-ports.org incoming = /incoming/ login = anonymous allow_dcut = 1 method = ftp EOF The thing is: for files to go to the 'unstable' repository, they *MUST* be built from *UNMODIFIED* Debian sid source packages (built with --build-arch for cowbuilder and the -B option to dpkg-buildpackage, and only include *_hppa.deb files). (Same for 'experimental'.) Everything else MUST go to the 'unreleased' repository, built with the -sa option to dpkg-buildpackage (to include the .orig.tar.gz, in every upload), and including source (.dsc, .diff.gz/.debian.tar.*), arch:all and arch:hppa binaries (just arch:all doesn’t work), and be versioned with a +hppa.1 suffix. Look at the m68k repositories and my notes in http://www.freewrt.org/~tg/dp/ (the 0-NOTE.txt file and the stuff under files/ is interesting). >That would be the easiest >solution and debootstrap should then work, right? debootstrap can only work if *all* packages involved are in unstable (see above). With m68k, we have eglibc in unreleased, so it doesn’t work (but is still better than not on debian-ports). >(The current hppa-packages on debian-ports will render your box >unusable anyway, since the hppa udev package there has a bug). Ah, nice… bye, //mirabilos -- FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much *much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
