Status update: I now uploaded apt 1.1.2 and libept 1.1+nmu3, each fixing some more RC bugs, and libept especially enabling building on non-Linux architectures. What is remaining now is the rest of libept sub-transition: - binNMU synaptic on all architectures, except hppa (already binNMUed) and mips64el (that just build 0.82 against the correct lib 9 hours ago) - binNMU packagesearch everywhere (needs that second binNMU because of the first one involved the broken libept package) - binNMU goplay everywhere Apart from that libept issue, the transition seems to go very well. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
