Newer version of gdb and binutils?

1996-09-13 Thread Frank Neumann
Hi, there have been newer versions of these two programs out for some time now: gdb-4.16 (current in Debian: 4.15) binutils-2.7 (current in Debian: 2.6) David, are you working on debianizing the newer versions? I'm pretty much interested in a newer binutils, because the current Debian version

Diffs-only for XFree?

1996-09-13 Thread Frank Neumann
Hi, I noticed that in the rex/source archive there is currently only the complete XFree-3.1.2 source tree. Are there any means to get ahold of just the Debian specific diffs for it, even if they are quite a lot? We need to get X11 for m68k debianized, but having to extract the changes that were

Package: kbd Version: 0.91-3 I wondered why the 'loadkeys' program didn't work as expected on m68k, and then I found a little bug in src/getfd.c: It determines the keyboard type via an ioctl (KDGKBTYPE) which returns a char on the kernel side, but is put into a 'long' variable. This just
