I am having problems getting a cross-compiler for gcc-2.95 working for m68k,
gcc-3.3 can not compile 2.4.27 for m68k. I can upload a new patch package
(needed only for a patch to pick gcc-2.95 as default compiler instead of now
gcc-3.3), but for the images I can only provide a source package right now,
which would have to be built by the autobuilders. This would be all for
unstable? I haven''t seen any mention of stable/sarge in the 2.4.27
packages.

A sarge update would not need a new kernel-patch-m68k package, just a
rebuild of the kernel-image-m68k package using the new kernel-source.

What has to be done for mips? My mips machine is a bit slow, but I can 
build a new kernel package for stable-security, and then test it. I have 
a sarge chroot on it.

I have just installed the 32-bit non-smp version on my machine, and it 
works well. This machine is running testing (well now a bit outdated), 
but the kernel was still the one from sarge. I don''t know what I could 
tell more, if I have forget something, just ask

Bye,
Aurelien

Yes, I could, but it would take a lot longer than cross-compiling plus
I''ll
be travelling for a few days, among other things I''ll be trying to get
two
faster m68k machines running for debian. But even if I could get the
cross-compiling 2.4.27 working again I could not upload much before next
tuesday.

This is a stable-security update.  Horms has also created packages for
an unstable update of 2.4.27, but that''s a separate topic.
Unfortunately it sounds like we cannot upload a source package and have
the autobuilders do it - would you be able to do an m68k in a pristine
sarge environment?

hppa:
  http://people.debian.org/~dannf/kernel/hppa/2.6.8/

I''ve not tested this build; I''d appreciate it if someone could
do so and
post the results.

(I''ll update the status wiki when its back up - why''s that
site so flaky
lately?)

Read-only, fix that.

Looks like mips has been taken care of, thanks for the offer.  There''s
a
link to the packages on the status wiki, if you wanna test them out.

Thanks for testing!
