Hi, after I succeded in setting up a build environment (binutils-20001213, gcc-20001211 with libstdc++v2) for glibc2.2 on my Indy I managed to build my first packages.
I uploaded shellutils and ncurses which were both missing in the archive. So, what is the normal procedure when uploading with some mips-specific patches? - Send the patches to the packages maintainer (?) I don't know if this is not to early, since we are using different binutils and gcc. - Using the same version number as main package or a NMU number (?) - Diff uploads (?) There is no support for this in the archive The two packages I uploaded are have the normal version number and are signed by me, but I had to do some patching. I uploaded them because they are needed by other packages. I also tried to compile apt. I had to do some changes in the c++ source code, because some standards changed (eg friend -> friend class) But apt-get crashes with a segmentation fault. I am now trying to build gdb-5 with the patches from ftp.linux.sgi.com to find the problem in apt. Christoph
