Hello, I started to contribute to the port, but I would want to know your policy about these items: 1/ how and where I can upload packages for Debian-SPARC ? 2/ What is the policy about the maintainer of each package? I don't want to become maintainer of each package I compile, just help to do the port. However, I could report bugs & send patches to the real maintainer. 3/ How can we take version numbers in sync between architectures ? Should we update a package even when update of sources is only relative to another architecture ?
Thanks in advance... PS: I have built the following packages from debian sources. base/dpkg_1.4.0.7_sparc.deb base/dpkg_1.4.0.7_sparc.nondebbin.tar.gz base/fileutils_3.13-4_sparc.deb base/libreadline2-2.0-15.deb base/makedev_1.5-4_sparc.deb base/ncurses-base-1.9.9e-1.all.deb base/ncurses-bin-1.9.9e-1.sparc.deb base/ncurses3.0-1.9.9e-1.sparc.deb base/sh-utils-1.12-5.deb devel/libreadline2-dev-2.0-15.deb devel/ncurses3.0-dev-1.9.9e-1.sparc.deb devel/ncurses3.0-pic-1.9.9e-1.sparc.deb misc/ncurses-term-1.9.9e-1.all.deb non-free/ncftp_2.4.2-1_sparc.deb Actually, they could be fetched from ftp://lix.polytechnique.fr/pub/Linux/debian/binary-sparc -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires.
