Most of the packages containing a firmware for specific CPUs (I am sure for openbios-ppc and openbios-sparc) can be built using a cross-compiler. That's probably something we should allow in the archive if this is implemented, and in the case of openbios, that would mean a single source package can be used instead. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
