source NMU

2001-05-15 Thread GerhardTonn
Hi, I am going to upload packages for the s390 architecture. There are still a lot of packages which don't support s390 in config.sub and config.guess yet. Is it necessary to write a bug report and do a source NMU for each of these packages or is there a more generic approach? -- Thanks, Gerhard
