Greetings: God bless you. Warning: more than one topic.
Apologies if these topics are already treated in the archives: the search didn't turn up anything relevant. I had occasion to grab some source through the web pages, following the links from .../distrib/packages (BTW, I noticed that .../Packages seems to be the same page) through unstable to the mail section to compface. Today I realized that sparc binary packages are not available through these pages; in fact, only i386 binary packages are. Gentlemen and Ladies, isn't this an egregious situation which needs ameliorization at the next possible moment? (Today is my "big words" day...) Aren't some of the contents of these pages generated through scripts, to ensure correct version numbers and filenames and such like? If so, it should nearly be trivial to add [download sparc] buttons or, on the download page, add paragraphs of lists of sites/mirrors for each of the supported processors. I'll be glad to help with this once I am inducted as a Debian Developer. In fact, I'd like to lead the effort to have the non-script-generated (or static) portions of these pages translated. I could contribute to Spanish translation, and I had in the Statement of Intent section of my application to do this kind of thing, though my thought was toward other documentation at the time. Do you think it would be too much of an imposition to require an html/shtml page from a package maintainer, much like the requirement to supply _some_ kind of man page?
