What is lacking is a few porters who have overview of the various problems. I was doing d-i and kernel work back then, as well as parted stuff, and coordinating the biarch toolchain and stuff like that. We need someone in charge of d-i on powerpc, who cares about all subarches, the kernels need also work, and there is naturally the biarch/multiarch userland issue. As said, i did lot of these things, but kind of burned out earlier this year. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
