However we should rebuild all packages when libc6 will be available. I prefer you don't upload packages that already moved to libc6. We should keep package version in sync with other architectures, so if a package is already built with libc6 on an other architecture, it should keep the same release number in our Debian/SPARC port. Keep them on an alternate ftp site if you want to distribute them. > I can't see libg++ or dpkg-devel packages on vger or > the main debian site so I presume that people have been > using hacked redhat/easynfs/debian mishmosh systems for > development...

You should'nt look into 1.2 nor 1.3 release but in the development tree (aka. hamm) to find real Debian/SPARC packages. About dpkg-dev, it is architecture independent and is available in hamm/hamm/binary-*/utils/... gcc, libc5-dev & binutils are also available at standard place. You can find a more up-to-date gcc package at ftp://test.dei.unipd.it:/pub/debian. This site contains also a gdb package for Debian/SPARC. As far as I know, nobody works on libg++ (I use the one from RedHat), so you can do it yourself. By the way, any help is welcome :-)) Bye. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant."
