Well, in T2 things are build automatically - just coping some files form somewhere is not a viable “solution” for us. Also the .iso image is already a bit “old”, so a full, new release with ten-thousands of updates form the current t2/trunk is overdue, … The problem was anyway only because the last stable ISOs where cross compiled. Historically we native compiled the ISOs and there this cracklib problem did not exist. However, building on 270 MHz UltraSAPRC and ARM boards not much faster is not much fun. This is while I implemented more and more cross compilation in T2 half a decade ago, to cross compile even whole “desktop / server”-class ISOs. Anyway, this cracklib directory problem is now finally fixed in trunk - among a ton of other random fixes I spotted on some massive release (cross)-builds. > I have access to a Dual G4 "Mirror door" PowerMac and a Dual G5 PowerMac, if > thats nessecary :) Well, thanks, however, I have an (upgraded to 1.2 GHz) G4 Cube and a dual-core 2GHz G5 here myself. The problem is mostly the lack of time to do all the detailed release build quality kind of fixes. Due to the thousands of updates in the T2 packages there always are quite many regressions due upstream package changes. From very trivial things of shared (clobbered) files of base packages like util-linux, to all kinds of other compiler, kernel, boot loader incompatibility of “esoteric” architectures, like sparc64, arm, mips, not to mention the all-new aarch64, which we call arm64, anyways. My daily job keeps me already a little busy (http://exactcode.com), so this kind of rather “boring” fixing others developers obscure regression and incompatibilities are usually delayed quite some time on my side (in the hope they go away themselves, or a rather rainy weekend day, …). > King regards Mads Nielsen (Denmark) I hope you enjoy T2, my server is busy cross compiling ISOs that I can hopefully share soon.
