I have a working rootfs and an sbuild chroot running now. :-) Starting to submit patches to the BTS now. Until now, I just needed to change linux (for linux-libc-dev), libffi and ltrace. The rest went fine with forced installation. I uploaded some important packages to deb http://people.debian.org/~stigge/deb-powerpcspe/ ./ This enables dist-upgrading the rootfs image available at http://wiki.debian.org/PowerPCSPEPort to a working state and also to install build-essential for an sbuild schroot. How can we setup a more systematic process now, e.g. with buildd + wanna-build access?
