I’d keep the “Debian currently runs” but state that this is not in a released version and hasn’t been for a while, but that people are working on it and help be welcome. Then, replace “Current Debian releases support” with “Currently, the Debian/m68k port supports”. I’ll leave the text supplication to others, however this one would be nice to have ;-) Index: index.wml =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/webwml/webwml/english/ports/m68k/index.wml,v retrieving revision 1.26 diff -u -p -r1.26 index.wml --- index.wml 11 Oct 2008 12:45:07 -0000 1.26 +++ index.wml 29 Dec 2010 16:21:15 -0000 @@ -92,6 +92,15 @@ system for Debian 3.1 and above) to the Together with Stephen Marenka, ported debian-installer (the installation system for Debian 3.1 and above) to the m68k architecture. +<dt>Thorsten Glaser +<dd> +Collected patches from Debian/m68k maintainers, Linux/m68k developers, and +other people; brought Debian/m68k through the transition from linuxthreads +to NPTL with TLS by integrating those into the Debian packages and being +the human equivalent of a buildd for long enough to bootstrap sid again. +Finn Thain, Andreas Schwab and Geert Uytterhoeven provided valuable input +to this, besides those already mentioned above. + </dl> >w.r.t. the recent effort to revive the port and the progress about it). I’ve put up, on my people.d.o home directory, a tarball of a freshly made /var/cache/pbuilder/base.cow (which can also be used as a chroot of Debian unstable on any Linux/m68k machine, or rather as starting point for that) and plan to upgrade it every once in a while, for some time. I also intend to prepare an upgraded VM image and upload that. The current VM image is based on a much older unstable but works just fine as starting point (given a new kernel and the chroot), and is documented on: https://wiki.debian.org/Aranym/Quick (thanks, Stephen). I wrote about cowbuilder and the chroot on the Debian Wiki, too: https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Cowbuilder (contains a download link) We currently have two pressing issues (res_init() segfaults, and gcj, possibly boehm-gc, fails out in sem_wait) but most packages can be compiled again (with cowbuilder; since buildd needs eMail and sendmail calls res_init, I haven’t made any further progress in setting up a buildd, but others here run one and can probably just throw away their current sid chroot, extract mine, put up a TLS capable kernel, and be done, as long as the unreleased repo is (currently) included in the in-chroot sources.list). I fudged some build-deps (mostly X stuff) to compile packages since I’ll *not* recompile x.org by hand; manual de- pendency resolution is… quite an intense job.
