As an interesting side note, some of these packages have bugs filed against them that seem quite easy to fix: bezerk #70165: automatic build fails for potato bridge #17153: bridge.postinst error (fwd) #22883: bridge: copyright file still in /usr/doc/copyright #70212: automatic build fails for potato #78451: small bug in Potato, /etc/init.d/bridge #84513: failed to build from source #91124: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man nasm-mode #70823: wrong permissions python-pmw #61577: python-pmw: new upstream version swish-e #35406: /usr/doc/swish/* aren't world readable. #78060: swish-e: the package is greatly obsolete #91055: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man tcl8.0-ja #66455: [woody] not installable any more #90208: tcl8.0-ja: build failure on sparc #91042: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man tk8.0-ja #49491: tk8.0-ja: Can't build from source #66299: Patch for tk8.0-ja compilation on Alpha #74191: depends on nonexistent package #91047: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man type1inst #91051: man page in /usr/man should move to /usr/share/man Another thought, bridge contains the userspace tools for operating an ethernet bridge on Linux 2.0, we have have not supported the 1.x versions of the Linux kernel for some time, is it about time that we dropped the support for version 2.0? -- Don't worry -- shop.
