DebConf BoF on m68k failure to make it for etch
Hi, I applied for and was granted a BoF at DebConf to discuss what happened to m68k during the etch release cycle. The idea would be to first explain why we didn't make it, and then have a discussion with the people present at the BoF to figure out improvements to the current set of rules, so that if they get implemented we (hopefully) can make the cut for the next release slightly easier as well as avoiding that the same thing happens to other architectures needlessly. In order to prepare my BoF properly, I'd like to ask if any of you can think of reasons for the failure other than what my idea is (which boils down "we were backlogged b/c of gcc, then got kicked out of testing, and never really recovered from that in testing"). I'll be reading some mailinglist archives "some time soon", but any other feedback might help as well.

[buildd] scribus-ng
Hi, vault13 seems to have picked up scribus-ng, even though aahz was building it (for the second time, with a higher timeout). I registered it for aahz again, scribus-ng is installed, but vault13 is still building the package?

When I get some time again, and after I experiment with a 2.6 kernel in Sarge, I'll see if I can get Etch installed on one of the Q840avs and see if "startx r" results in the desired outcome.
