I just uploaded a libc6 version of r-base, a package for statistical computing and graphics. I would also like to create a libc5-based version of this package. Even if it doesn't get into the official Debian distributions it will be helpful for several people who run libc5-based systems.
I used debhelper scripts throughout my debian/rules file. Unfortunately it appears that the debhelper package is not available in either the bo or the bo-updates areas. I can think of a few different approaches: - stay on the hamm system and use the altdev packages to compile a libc5-based version. This probably will not work because r-base requires g77 for compilation and I don't think there is a g77-altdev - try to install enough of debhelper on a bo system to make the current debian/rules work. - replace the debhelper constructions in the debian/rules I would appreciate any suggestions. If replying to the list please also send a cc: to me. It seems that I have been dropped from debian-devel. Either that or the list has been extraordinarily quiet for the last week :-) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
