Package: installation-guide Severity: normal Version: 20131009 Dear Installation-guide maintainers,
I and a collegue currently work on getting the hppa architecture in a good shape again in debian. We have done great progress, which means that more than 80% of debian unstable packages are now available up-to-date for hppa. That's even more than what other architectures like mk68k, sh4 or sparc. You can see our progress in this graph: http://buildd.debian-ports.org/stats/ hppa is the magenta line. We currently have 7 hppa-buildd-servers running (on 4 physical machines) as you can see here: http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hppa.html Next step for me was to try to create a installation-cd. For that I used debian-cd, but failed because the package "installation-guide-hppa" is missing in the repositories. You can see the error message of debian-cd below. So, can you please reactive the build for the hppa architecture so that I can proceed with an installation image? It seems it is sufficient to - uncomment "hppa" in the debian/archlist file, and - uncomment the " installation-guide-hppa" section in the debian/control file. It would be really great if you can reactivate it soon. Of course I will send further patches to the installation-guide package as needed. THANKS !! Helge BTW, here is the error I get when using debian-cd to create a installation image: ... /usr/share/debian-cd/tools/make_disc_trees.pl /usr/share/debian-cd /mnt/DATA/debian-ports-mirror /mnt/DATA/tempdir sid "hppa" "genisoimage" "-r -jigdo-min-file-size 1024 -jigdo-exclude 'README*' -jigdo-exclude /doc/ -jigdo-exclude /md5sum.txt -jigdo-exclude /.disk/ -jigdo-exclude /pics/ -jigdo-exclude 'Release*' -jigdo-exclude 'Packages*' -jigdo-exclude 'Sources*' -jigdo-force-md5 /pool/" .... genisoimage -version says: genisoimage 1.1.11 (Linux) Reading in package information for hppa: Done: Read details of 478 packages for hppa Starting to lay out packages into images: Adding the required directories Generating the image label and volume id Adding .disk/base_components Adding .disk/cd_type Adding udeb/base includes/excludes Adding docs to CD1 Extracting FAQ on CD1 Adding installtools ERROR: package installation-guide-hppa not found. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
