Why do you think I'm volunteering :) I have ported all the base packages to Debian/Alpha and there are a lot of diffs to merge in anyway. It's probably easier for me to repackage everything and upload it then to get all the maintainers to accept my patches. Well faster anyway. As an added bonus all these packages then have GNU libc support so when libc6 comes out for the i386 it will be just a matter of recompiling. Expect the first Debian/Alpha machine on the net later today or tomorrow ! Mike. -- Miquel van | Cistron Internet Services -- Alphen aan den Rijn.
