Adrian, ok, i'm stuck.
followed guide on https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/How_to_create_Debian_unstable_iso_images Successfully ran 'reprepro update' , but unable to build debian-installer package. git clone - ok but dpkg-buildpackage on debian-installer source, gives me a lot of errors (log in attachment). On the second thought, it wasn't clearly written at https://parisc.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/How_to_create_Debian_unstable_iso_images is it possible to use sparc (32bit userland) linux to create sparc64 packages and iso image. So, i'm probably useless currently for that kind of work (creating iso image for sparc64 from linux sparc (running 64 bit kernel, but 32 bit userland) - it's like cross-compiling for me). I've seen your email to debian-sparc with the subject "creating sparc64 installation images", and agree, we really need someone who can help us create sparc64 iso image. Keep in mind, that we still can try to use this sparc T5-2 for tries, but it's installed with wheezy. Thanks.
